Murakami is probably best known for his commercial work &#8211; such as the colourful Louis Vuitton monograms that adorned its bags. His recent work &#8211; The 500 Arhats &#8211; is tremendous and reveals that he is much more than just a pop artist. The exhibition has been running since Oct. 31 and will end on Mar. 6.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2847 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure
