The pink Anywhere Door stands at the centre of a crowd: Doraemon, Nobita and dozens of their friends tumble through a field of Takashi Murakami's smiling flowers in Many Things Await Beyond Anywhere Door (Dokodemo Door), a 2018 silkscreen with cold stamp from an edition of 300. Unframed and unused.
The Piece
The print comes from Murakami's collaboration with the world of Doraemon, the robot cat created by Fujiko F. Fujio. Where some sheets in the series isolate a single scene, this one is an all-over composition, packed edge to edge with characters and episodes from the manga: Gian on his stage, Shizuka and Dorami, the elephant, the gadgets, the tears and the laughter.
At its heart Doraemon and Nobita wait either side of the open door, its chequered gold interior hinting at whatever lies beyond. Around them Murakami's flowers fill every gap in pink, lilac, yellow and sky blue. Silkscreen gives the colour its flat, saturated punch, and the cold stamp adds a metallic glint.
