We were fortunate to be invited to the opening dinner of a new major exhibition by Takashi Murakami, the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Middle East. Titled, Murakami – Ego the exhibition is part of a series of cultural initiatives organised by the QMA (Qatar Museum Authority) to promote and support local and international art, foster conversations about artists and popular culture, and build bridges between cultures.
“Qatar Museums Authority is pleased to present the work of renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami in Doha, for his first solo exhibition in the Middle East,” said Qatar Museums Authority Chairperson Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. “The exhibition continues to advance QMA’s mission to encourage global cultural dialogue and exchange, as well as launch the 2012 celebration of forty years of diplomatic relations between Qatar and Japan.”
