About this event

What to expect

Takashi Murakami is one of the most influential and recognisable contemporary artists of the time. Immerse yourself in a Murakami takeover of the Art Gallery's Naala Badu building with a major retrospective in the Ainsworth Family Gallery and the global premiere of new work in the atmospheric Nelson Packer Tank.

Developed by the Art Gallery in collaboration with Takashi Murakami, this Sydney-exclusive exhibition reveals the evolution of Murakami's signature 'Superflat' aesthetic.

Bringing together paintings, sculptures, video and large-scale installations, the exhibition charts the artist's emergence as a defining figure of contemporary art and popular culture.

Exclusive to Sydney, the exhibition is presented at the Art Gallery as part of the 2026–27 Sydney International Art Series. Sydney International Art Series is a NSW Government initiative through its tourism and events agency Destination NSW.
