Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami's sculpture "Flower Parent and Child" is on display at the Kyocera Art Museum in Kyoto, Japan.
The installation, which debuted in Tokyo in 2020, is part of the museum's "akashi Murakami - Mononoke Kyoto" exhibition, which features 170 works by the celebrated contemporary Japanese artist. The French fashion house collaborated with Murakami on the sculpture to create a "symbol of hope" during the COVID pandemic.
Now floating in a pond in the museum's garden, the artist's signature cast "Flower Parent and Child" glints gold on a massive multicolor Monogram chest modeled after the one that appeared in Louis Vuitton and Murakami's 2003 collaboration. In the sculptural version, Murakami retained the chest's canvas façade, metal details, and wooden composition.
