"The House of Pikachu: Art, Anime, and Pop Culture surveys the present-day, far-reaching influence of Japanese animation on contemporary art. Long a cultural mainstay in Japan but a niche interest abroad, Japanese animation — anime — has become one of the world's most popular forms of entertainment and a pillar of global popular culture. Nearly 20 years have passed since the first major exhibitions examined anime's role in contemporary artistic production, recognizing it as a key source for a new kind of pop art. Expanding beyond a focus on Japanese artists, The House of Pikachu explores anime's worldwide reach through the works of a diverse chorus of artists from Japan, Brazil, China, Mexico, Côte d'Ivoire, Texas, and beyond —underscoring just how global anime has become."
