The head floats at the centre of a dense field of his smiling flowers, every colour of the palette packed edge to edge, with the words new day lettered in pale outline beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatinum leaf runs under the flowers and catches the light as you move, a quality the close photograph shows on the darker blooms. The self-portrait is one of the artist's most personal motifs, half joke and half confession. The page describes the sheet as bought from Kaikai Kiki and kept unframed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Takashi Murakami\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Day: Self Portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silkscreen with platinum leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 (as stated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as signed in pencil, shown in the close photograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 x 70 cm (27.6 x 27.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 x 80 cm (31.5 x 31.5 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFraming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed loose sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaikai Kiki, as described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Described as new and unused\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as new and unused, kept as a loose sheet and never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photographs show clean margins; the margins read slightly grey in room light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused, as new)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered as signed and from an edition of 100, as the page states; we present that claim as given rather than as our own finding.
