The Art of Tagging Art Promotion

Agenda Inc. has a neat little snippet about a billboard promoting a Takashi Murakami retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles that was tagged by a noted grafitti artist:

Two days later, to the chagrin of grafitti art connoiseurs, the billboard was gone.

Apparently Murakami himself loved it enough to have it shipped intact all the way to Tokyo.

Consider it a blessing of urban street art from one of Japan's leading graphic artists.

It is, clearly, a sign of the times.
