Finally, the BBC/Ice Cream Blog has shared pictures on a project we heard about awhile back, the Takashi Murakami x Pharrell Williams x Jacob & Co. sculpture. Unveiled today at the opening of the Art Basel fair in Switzerland, the piece “The Simple Things” apparently sold in less than half an hour (my money is on Nigo). Jacob The Jeweller has obviously been getting busy in jail. In addition to Jacob’s take on Pharrell’s favorite products such as Pepsi, Ice Cream sneakers, Ketchup, a cupcake, Doritos, and something that looks like a condom and bottle of lotion, Murakami created the sculpture for the objects to sit inside its mouth. Currently on display at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, the same place Pharrell unveiled his limited series of chairs back in the Fall.
