What is about Murakami that makes people act like rapacious assholes?

Maybe that's his art, making us all look like the greedy jerks he knew we always were, a vision that is too maniacally dark for me to even start contemplating?

Artinfo reports one notable at the Murakami benefit in Brooklyn going crazy snatching plastic placemats.

This happened at the LA gala as well, one of the few experiences that made me want to actually give up writing about art.
