Jellyfish eyes black 1 by Takashi Murakami Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Four-color offset printing on silver paper Dimensions: 50 x 50 cm Edition production year: 2001 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?A field of cropped and isolated eyes converts looking into a pattern: one central target steadies the composition while peripheral forms imply a larger system continuing beyond the square. Murakami treats the eye less as anatomy than as a repeatable graphic character, placing bodily recognition alongside the impersonal clarity of a logo or diagram.In the photograph, concentric circles dominate a black ground. Unequal scale, sharp lash-like projections, and cropping at several edges shift the image between faces, targets, cells, and orbiting bodies.The documented four-color offset print on silver paper permits crisp registration and repeated flat shapes. The metallic support may alter luminosity with viewing conditions, although that effect cannot be established from this photograph.Dated 2001 and measuring 50 by 50 cm, the print is a focused case for examining how mechanical reproduction can carry an eccentric cast of forms without resolving them into either abstraction or character design.
