Yoshitomo Nara is one of my absolute favorite artists! He has an exhibit running right now at the Asia Society at 70th and Park Avenue. Check out the video to get a tantailizing taste of what's there. Also, check out some of my favorite Yoshitomo Nara pieces below.





This amazing statue entitled "White Ghost" is sitting outside of the Asia Society on Park Avenue.
If you're uptown, keep your eyes peeled for it!





This "Pup Cup" by Nara "whirls, twirls and spins!" A great gift idea for the kiddies in your life.
You can purchase it on Cereal Art.





One of my favorite paintings of Nara's hanging in Art Dealer Marianne Boesky's apartment.





This ash tray becomes a realistic and portable version of one of the artists well-known paintings.

I read this book to my daughter all the time. In fact, when I start to read the book and say "The Lonesome Puppy..."
she chimes in "...by Yoshitomo Nara!"
