Today's Style section of the NY Times features a write up on Takashi Murakami and his new exhibit at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) that runs now through Feb 11. The exhibit not only showcases Murakami's breadth of art work and cute characters, but also showcases his collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton. Unlike most art exhibits, the museum store is all a frenzy with women going there specifically to snatch up the limited edition Murakami LV bags. Modern art meets luxury goods. It's an interesting feat to see how handbags can make waves in the art world. Read more about it in the NY Times.
