Two works attributed to Takashi Murakami have been promoted as newly available for purchase through Singulart, according to a newsletter dated 15 August 2026. The commercial announcement features the sculpture ‘DOB-KUN (Green)’ and the print ‘Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo—Japonisme Reconsidered—Dyer’s Quarter, Kanda (Kaikai Kiki)’. No exhibition or public presentation is announced.
Singulart’s listing identifies Murakami as a painter from Japan and places the works within its online marketplace for original art, prints, photography, sculpture and other media. The platform’s catalogue groups Murakami among its “famous artists” and allows users to follow artists for notifications about newly listed works. The announcement is therefore framed as a sales release rather than an institutional exhibition or gallery programme.
‘DOB-KUN (Green)’ is described as a plastic work measuring 18 by 22 by 13 centimetres. The newsletter gives its price as €3,090. Singulart’s accompanying catalogue material lists the work among Murakami’s available pieces and identifies it as a sculpture. The title invokes Murakami’s recurring DOB character, although the supplied material does not provide further information about the work’s production date, edition, provenance or fabrication.
The second release, ‘Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo—Japonisme Reconsidered—Dyer’s Quarter, Kanda (Kaikai Kiki)’, is identified as a screen print on paper measuring 42 by 29 centimetres. The newsletter lists it at €11,480. On Singulart’s artist page, the work appears alongside other prints in the same series, including titles referring to ‘Blossoms on the Tama River Embankment’, ‘Yatsumi Bridge’, ‘The City Flourishing, Tanabata Festival’, ‘Distant View of Kinryūzan Temple and Azuma Bridge’ and ‘Dawn inside the Yoshiwara’.
The catalogue’s broader Murakami selection includes additional works described as screen prints on paper, as well as plastic objects and an ink work. Among the listed titles are ‘Untitled (Mr DOB)’, ‘772772 (DOB, Kaikai Kiki)’ and ‘Takashi Murakami - MNNK Bro. ‘SHUTOKO TOKYO’ Vinyl (Takashi Murakami x JP THE WAVY)’. These items appear as catalogue listings rather than as parts of a dated exhibition, and the supplied pages do not establish whether they were released simultaneously with the two works highlighted in the newsletter.
Singulart’s buyer information states that artworks are eligible for return within 30 days of delivery, with shipping, duties and taxes included in the displayed price. The platform also says that works are insured during shipment and that a certificate of authenticity is signed and included with every artwork. The Murakami announcement directs prospective buyers to the online listings for the two works.
