Hip Hip Hurrah by Takashi Murakami Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Screen print in colors on smooth wove paper Dimensions: 57 x 51 cm Edition production year: 2020 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A familiar cartoon silhouette becomes a container for visual excess, setting Doraemon’s immediate readability against a dense field of miniature characters. The catalogue profile links Murakami’s practice to Japanese painting, anime, manga, and consumer culture. Here, that crossing of categories is concentrated within a single popular figure.In the photograph, thick black contours and broad white areas establish Doraemon at once. Closer inspection reveals many small figures packed around the face and across the body, shifting attention from mascot to inventory.The documented medium is screen print in colors on smooth wove paper. Its capacity for crisp outlines and repeated, sharply separated color areas supports the contrast between bold silhouette and compressed detail.Dated 2020 and measuring 57 by 51 cm, the print is a focused case study in how recognition operates at different scales: one character from afar, an accumulation of images at close range.
