７５％ success in NYC exhibition and FOX５
I went to the Salmagundi Club, the oldest art club in NY, for a week from September 3 to 10, and had an exhibition there. Individual honorary members include Britain's Churchill and oil tycoon Rockefeller. Other prominent artists include John Singer Sargent, who painted the face of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The reception for this exhibition was held on the 6th. It was quite a large turnout, perhaps 150 to 200 people. Three of the works sold at the reception, and it was later decided that they would go to a senior staff member of MOMA and a wealthy man with assets of over 300 billion yen. Unfortunately, the larger works, the 100+ size paintings that were in the catalog, did not sell.
Also, on the 6th, a short interview with Basquiat at Washington Square Garden, which was broadcast on FOX5, the fourth largest television network in the United States, was held.
As you can see, this business trip to New York was quite hectic, but it gave me some confidence because many people liked my work and purchased it. Among them, customers liked the use of shocking pink, the beautiful combination of colors such as silver and gold, and the cat rabbit and HUMASUSHI were popular and won their hearts. The skull type was also popular, and the one piece that sold out early was inundated with orders.
In summary, I felt that the recent trend itself was not wrong.
