About My Lonesome Cowboy in brief
My Lonesome Cowboy is a sculpture created in 1998 by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. It depicts an anime-inspired figure ejaculating a large strand of semen. It is an example of superflat art, an art movement founded by MurakAMI in the 1990s to criticize Japanese consumer culture. The sculpture is evocative of shunga and hentai.
In 2008, the fourth numbered edition of the sculpture sold at an auction by Sotheby’s for USD$15. 1 million, nearly four times the amount at which it was valued. At the time, the sale made Murkami one of the most expensive living artists in the world.
