**APC ART is pleased to offer this exceptional Takashi Murakami edition — “Flowers and Skulls” (Complexcon Edition).**
Executed as a **hand-pulled silkscreen print with cold stamp on fine wove paper**, this work measures **24 × 18 in (61 × 46 cm)** and was **published by Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd.** exclusively for **Complexcon** in a **limited unnumbered edition of 300**. Each print bears the **TM/KK studio stamp** (Takashi Murakami / Kaikai Kiki) along the lower margin, verifying authenticity and studio provenance.
“Flowers and Skulls” captures the duality at the heart of Murakami’s universe — **joy and decay**, **life and impermanence**, rendered through his signature motifs: the smiling flower and the floating skull. In this striking monochromatic composition, Murakami strips away color to expose the underlying geometry and linework that define his *Superflat* aesthetic. The result is a mesmerizing, almost meditative field where his two most iconic symbols merge into one intricate continuum.
Murakami — often called **the Warhol of Japan** — is among the most influential contemporary artists alive today. His ability to bridge fine art, pop culture, and fashion has earned him collaborations with **Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams, Billie Eilish, and Kanye West**, and exhibitions at major institutions including **MOCA Los Angeles**, **Palais de Tokyo**, and **The Broad**. His works are represented in the collections of the **Museum of Modern Art**, **Guggenheim**, and **Mori Art Museum**.
Complexcon editions are among Murakami’s **most sought-after releases**, due to their exclusivity and direct connection to the artist’s vibrant, cross-cultural presence. Few examples remain available on the secondary market, and market demand has continued to rise sharply as collectors recognize the historical importance of these prints within Murakami’s broader canon.
The present work is in **mint condition**, **unframed**, and will **ship immediately from the USA**.
**A rare opportunity to acquire an iconic Murakami image — a seamless blend of beauty and mortality, executed with technical brilliance and deep conceptual significance.**
