Takashi Murakami

Playing off yesterday’s crazy eBay auctions, I did find another beautiful piece of art. No, it’s not a poster but the place mat from the Takashi Murakami VIP reception at MOCA in Los Angeles. Scrounged around some more and found an interesting article in the LA Times too from November 2, 2007. Apparently at the reception party there were droves of place mat stealers on the prowl at the party. They stole anyone’s place mat that wasn’t paying attention. I am sure Kanye had his place mat on lockdown.

Nonetheless, where did all these placemats end up going? EBay of course! Auctions for this wonderful piece of history are gong for around $300-$400. Now if I had just gone to the VIP reception I could have got myself a $300 placemat too. Forget the fact that the entrance fee that night was around $5k. Maybe I’ll find some hipster eating off this placemat in Larchmont somewhere too.
