New York, I feel your pain. You’re hemorrhaging under the weight of your artistic success and accomplishments, bleeding out talent like Jackson Pollock after the car crash. I know it’s hard to keep all your children around while the rents keep rising and the scene gets hyped into the next century wh

Pity the poor parents who want to introduce their tots to the work of a contemporary artist like Takashi Murakami.
