Yoshitomo Nara

BIO
Nara, who often uses dogs and children as subjects in his work, has uniquely combined the two for White Ghost. The sculpture is glossy white fiberglass, and sits on rough stone-like bases, referencing how artifacts and monuments from the past often appear in museums. By presenting the sculptures in such a way, he considers the future ruins of his own work, and ultimately his own mortality. In 2010, Art Production Fund wowed the public with the mesmerizing presentation of White Ghost by the talented Yoshitomo Nara on Park Avenue. The captivating blend of art and urban landscape left viewers in awe. A version of this piece is also installed in Des Moines, Iowa. Now, St. Louisans and visitors to the region will have the chance to experience that same wonder.
