Courtesy Perrotin Tan Tan Bo, in a sense a reincarnation of Mr. DOB as a monster, is based on a manga character created by Mizuki Shigeru, a favorite of Murakami’s when he was a boy, in the form of a phantom consisting solely of a giant face spitting out phlegm from its mouth. The complex image of the phantom reflects Murakami’s personal anxiety regarding the expanding development of nuclear power.

HANS HARTUNG THE INVISIBLE CHORD. HANS HARTUNG AND MUSIC Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venezia May 5 – September 30, 2026 Curated by Thomas Schlesser and presented by Fondazione Querini Stampalia and Hartung-Bergman Foundation in collaboration with Perrotin. Bringing together nearly eighty paintings, documents, and working tools, the exhibition explores the central role of sound in the artist’s plastic and existential universe. From Bach to Pink Floyd, including composers such as Lili Boulanger, a landscape of energies, gestures, and resonances runs throughout his entire body of work. This sonic dimension subtly extends into the exhibition itself, with a soundtrack that can be enjoyed both on site and remotely. A gifted dancer and pianist in his youth, Hans Hartung was obsessively devoted to music—a true melomaniac, bordering on pathology. He abhorred silence. In a 1948 letter, Pierre Soulages recounts: “His radio s always on—when he comes to see me, he cannot resist playing his favorite records.” He adds: “Even moments of rest, and especially of work, were almost unbearable for him without music.” Hartung’s paintings are thus suffused with a sonic climate of rhythms, harmonies, and vocal or instrumental outbursts. Though silent, his work secretes melodic flows within its very fibers, emanating from the composers herevere Hartung was never a theorist of the relationships between sound, color, and form. Unlike artists such as Kandinsky, Schönberg, and their followers, who pursued synesthetic or intellectual explorations, his relationship to music was far more direct: physical, intuitive, and pragmatic. In short: without music, no pictorial creation, and without creation, no reason to exist, since for the artist, “the joy of living is inseparable from the joy of painting.”

Where the Pigment Paintings place raw, unmixed pigment grains onto white grounds in a dynamic gesture — reducing painting to its most elemental encounter between matter and surface — the Sand Paintings work against black. Sand, unlike pigment, is not absorbed by a dark ground; its reflective quality, shared with the glass fragments also present in both series, allows it to hold its presence and catch the light. They nonetheless retain the same tactile immediacy: a surface physically shaped at close range, where every movement remains visible.
