Murakami Flowers • New print release , by ck1 on Aug 24, 2023 3:05:38 GMT 1, Buying a drop from Murakami is always a challenge and if you want to do it you need to do the following. (1)Use google chrome which has google translate built in as many of the pages you will have to navigate are not translated. (2)follow the following 3 Instagram accounts: tonari_no_zingaro Takashipom and cherry_fukuoka - use instagram translate when you see a print posted to the one of the accounts. You have to monitor these accounts pretty regularly as they often give less than 24 hours of notice for a drop. (3) Get on and purchase within 5 minutes of the drop for popular drops. This always seems to be 10PM Japan time and 6AM California time - which sucks. Probably better for UK folks.
If the print is released on Cherry fukuoka best to have the app downloaded and order through the app. If it is released on tonari no zingaro you have to use the worldshopping checkout cart which is an adventure.
The prints get shipped in the most incredible packaging I have seen for a print.

They are certainly not expensive though. I do think the NFT based images are not anywhere near the standard of TM’s prior series of works. I also understand that these have a screened element, but shouldn’t be confused with his more detailed silkscreened works that usually command premiums. That said it was good to be able to freely browse before deciding for once.

I was being serious, so thank you for your reply!
There are 4 coming up at my local auction house and I have no idea whether the estimates are off. (The one I really like is the Homage to Francis Bacon (Study of Isabel Rawsthorne))

They listed the package's weight at 2.7KGs, that's crazy for one print isn't it?
