Mister Wink, Cosmos Ball 2000

This whimsical sculpture, "Mister Wink, Cosmos Ball," created by Takashi Murakami in 2000, features a signature smiling figure of the artist's "Superflat" style. The whimsical design features a smiling, winking figure with a single green eye sitting atop a flower-covered sphere, while a smaller sphere adorned with smiling flowers sits on a circular platform with silver accents. Murakami is known for his work in the Superflat movement, a Japanese art movement that emphasized flatness and the blurring of boundaries between high and low culture.
