Article HERE. I was surprised to learn that Vuitton has made HUNDREDS of MILLIONS (!) of dollars by selling Murakami’s artwork(?)/murakami-designed merchandise(?) (and isn’t that the question?) since 2003. Anyway, I think I bothered putting up yet another Murakami post because the article was a refreshing alternative to the fan-boy delight most critics have recently taken towards the artist’s shows. Its nice to hear responses that aren’t so starry-eyed. Schjeldahl is honest. He doesn’t get it and doesn’t just want to give into it. That’s respectable.
