Hanshin Umeda gives its top-floor gallery over to Charles Fazzino's 3D pop art for a week
Hanshin Umeda is giving its eighth-floor gallery to a week of Charles Fazzino's 3D pop art, priced up to just over ¥1 million a piece — a small, recurring tool the store uses to pull footfall onto a non-selling floor between its bigger seasonal fairs.
Hankyu Hanshin Department Stores said its Hanshin Umeda main store will give its eighth-floor art gallery over to a one-week exhibition of work by 3D pop artist Charles Fazzino, running October 7 to 13 (the final day closing at 5pm), according to a release dated October 6. The New York-born artist, who has spent five decades developing a layered printmaking technique and has worked with Disney, Universal Studios, Warner Bros and Major League Baseball, is showing four pieces for sale, priced from ¥242,000 to ¥1,045,000, including a ¥1,045,000 work titled World for Us and a Los Angeles Dodgers-themed piece.
