Takashi Murakami will have his first exhibition in the Middle East titled "Murakami-Ego" in Qatar from February to June 2012. The exhibition, curated by Massimiliano Gioni, will feature over 70 new and existing works that immerse visitors in Murakami's fictional universe. Major pieces include a 100-meter long painting and a 6-meter tall inflatable self-portrait. The exhibition is a rare opportunity to see Murakami's complete body of work together and understand his unique perspective on culture.
