Who could forget Louis Vuitton‘s iconic 2002 collaboration with Takashi Murakami, whose rainbow rendition of the classic LV monogram motif netted some $350 million in sales for the luxury leather label?

Living in New York City, we’ve all had to perfect our small-talk auto-pilot. After the initial five minutes discussing careers, playing the name game only goes so far. Chats often morph into a competition of recommending favorite museums and exhibitions (this throw-down is also applicable to train routes, East 7th Street restaurants, and Tupac v. Biggie). It’s good to have a few go-to’s in your pocket when your art cred is being challenged, and dropping some colorful vocabulary just adds to the charm. Since it’s my job to share my knowledge, here is a slice of artistic Big Apple real-estate that you can claim to know next time you find yourself at a loss for words or opinion.

Keds has definitely been making the rounds, if you know what I mean. As in Keds is a lot like a doorknob, everyone gets a turn. After bedding the Gap, Keds launches another collaboration, this time with artist Jenny Holzer.

We recently asked the four included for their inspiration.

Lots of stars came out for the Whitney Museum American Art Gala last night, but I thought Christina Ricci, here in Versace, was one of the best-dressed.

I know everyone is talking about them, and most of you have probably seen them but these limited edition summer tees are pretty cool. The shirts feature bold designs by artists like Jeff Koons, Chuck Close, Kiki Smith, Marilyn Minter, Barbara Kruger, Glenn Ligon, Kenny Scharf, and Kerry James Marshall. I gotta say, these are pretty nifty, and at those prices, I think I’m going to join the rat pack and pick one up.
