We live in ephemeral times, where dementia is the norm. Even in Japan.
MAEZAWA Yusaku has bought himself a new toy, aka a small cock boat, made in Germany.

What was Maezawa, who psychopathically always wants to be in the limelight, thinking when he put Basquiat up for sale?
And continues to pose with that Basquiat on the CAF website?
Indeed, a Japanese art collector of the worst kind, aka Nippon Shit Collector.
I want CAF to disappear. Because Maezawa, yusaku.
Are you ready for your LAST close-up, you sucker?

ニューヨークで久しぶりにバスキアと対面。やっぱり最高。9月21日から森アーツセンターギャラリーにて開催予定の「バスキア展」向けにまもなく日本に戻ってきます。
Finally meeting Basquiat again in New York after a long time. Still the absolute best. Heading back to Japan soon for the “Basquiat Exhibition” scheduled to open at Mori Arts Center Gallery from September 21.

Key Aspects: 
• Organizer: 公益財団法人 現代芸術振興財団 (Contemporary Art Foundation).
• Focus: Promoting young, emerging contemporary artists from Japanese schools (high school to graduate level) and Japanese students abroad.
• Venue: Primarily held at the Daikanyama Hillside Forum, a well-known cultural space in the Daikanyama neighborhood.
• Exhibition: Features selected works (painting, sculpture, video, performance, etc.) from finalists, with judging and awards announced at the event.
• Significance: Offers substantial cash prizes, solo exhibition opportunities, and broad exposure, acting as a stepping stone for future artists.
