In the Saleroom: Takashi Murakami's
Kaikai Kiki
<p>Carrying the same name as Takashi Murakamis' company, Kaikai and Kiki stare out at us, holding black skull-tipped lances and functioning as manic guardians as though sprung into three dimensions, larger than life, direct from a cartoon. Fashioned and dressed to sculptural perfection, this work, from an edition of five realised, sold for £1,945,250 at the Post-War and Contemporary Evening Auction in London on 14 October, against a pre-sale estimate of £400,000 - £600,000.
