theprojekt: thepublics: Market yourself East & West. Japanese artist Takashi Murakami has figured it out perfectly - sell your work as relatively low art (mass produced plastic figurines & phone caddies) in the East but in the West market your work as high art (“My Lonesome Cowboy” (1998), a sculpture of a masturbating boy, sold for $15.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction). Anybody in Japan willing to send me a Murakami figurine?
