Here it finally is. We have heard about this for a while and now we can finally show you pictures of the Takashi Murakami x Pharrell Williams x Jacob sculpture, which was made for the Art Basel fair this year. Murakami created a sculpture and Jacob the jeweler re-created some of Pharrell’s products of choice in premium metals and diamonds. The blinged out objects, including a Pepsi can, Ice Cream Sneakers, Cupcake, Doritos and a condom, have been placed in the mouth of the Takashi Murakami sculpture.

The sculpture is being exhibited from today at the booth of Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin at Art Basel.

Many more images of the Takashi Murakami x Pharrell Williams x Jacob & Co artwork follow after the jump.

Most of you have heard of Jacob & Co., the number one jeweler of the hip hop world. To date they have made a lot of noise, usually because of their huge watches, packed with diamonds. This time they played around with the MTV Moon Man.
Jacob &Co., together with MTV, has designed a one-of-a-kind Diamond “Moon Man” to celebrate the 2007 Video Music Awards. Recognizing the talent, dedication and hard-work put forth by each year’s winners, as well as the  magnitude of the event overall.

Featuring 15 Carats of Black and White Diamonds set in 14K Yellow Gold, the Jacob & Co. “Moon Man” stands at 13″ tall and just over 900 Grams (2lbs) – worth more than $200,000. At this point we are not sure what they will actually do with this piece, we doubt that every MTV Music Award Winner will get one!
Check out pictures of the full size Moon Man after the jump.
