It's a horological icon seen through a graffiti lens. That makes it a natural meeting point between watch collecting and contemporary art, and an especially fitting piece for the Horamundi Artwork section.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image reproduces a hand-painted MADSAKI original with everything a collector would recognise: the coronet and \u003cem\u003eROLEX COSMOGRAPH\u003c\/em\u003e signature at 12, three contrasting sub-dials, the tachymeter bezel graduated in \"units per hour\", and loose, sketch-like hands. MADSAKI is not after photographic precision. His paint splatters and wobbling lines turn a precision instrument into something raw and personal. That tension between exact engineering and spontaneous gesture is the core of the work's appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in 2020 by Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., Takashi Murakami's Tokyo studio and gallery, \u003cem\u003eUntitled_P1\u003c\/em\u003e is the first of MADSAKI's \"P\" series of circular prints.

He graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York in 1996 and returned to Japan in 2004. He took up spray paint as a way to paint fast and spontaneously, and his work explores an identity shaped between Japan and America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMADSAKI is represented by Takashi Murakami's Kaikai Kiki Gallery and has exhibited with Perrotin in Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Seoul and Shanghai. He is best known for his \u003cem\u003eWannabe\u003c\/em\u003e series, begun in 2015, in which he repaints masterpieces of art history in aerosol. His work appeared in \u003cem\u003eMURAKAMI vs. MURAKAMI\u003c\/em\u003e at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2019).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist    MADSAKI (Japanese, b. 1974)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitle       Untitled_P1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYear       2020\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium               Archival pigment print on Canson Velin cotton rag paper with deckled edges\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheet size          50 x 50 cm (19 5\/8 x 19 5\/8 in.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImage size         45 cm diameter (circular)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdition                  8 \/ 100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignature            Signed, numbered and dated \"madsaki 2020 8\/100\" in ink, lower right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher            Kaikai Kiki Co., Ltd., Tokyo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance      Phillips Hong Kong, 24\/7: Online Auction, lot 61 on 19 Oct 2020; acquired by a collector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition           Excellent, framed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRolex, Cosmograph and Daytona are trademarks of Rolex SA.
