Life+Times Presents: Takashi Murakami, A Retrospective

“Tan Tan Bo Puking – a.k.a. Gero Tan” (2002)

“This too is a DOB painting but as you can see, he has changed shape drastically. This painting is a continuation of an earlier work called “Tan Tan Bo” and in it we see DOB plagued by age and life’s various agonies. “Gero” is the Japanese word for “puke” and also the sound that a frog makes.”
