Warm congratulations to Terence Koh who’s currently en route from China to Gotham with something very special in tow: a newly adopted baby boy named Bei Bei, born in February of this year. The artist took a trip to Beijing to finalize his adoption papers and we truly couldn’t be more excited for the happy Koh duo. Mr. Koh is also planning a bash in New York to toast his newest pride and joy.

Photo by: Bruce Yamakawa ARTRUBY caught up with Kirsten Dunst in Los Angeles during a Golden Globe weekend and we had to ask about her experience of collaborating with Takashi Murakami and McG on Pop Life: Art in a Material World.
“It was one of the most amazing creative experiences ever,” the actress told us. “Who doesn’t want to run around in costume with Takashi? He’s just very kind and inspiring. My only regret is that I couldn’t really experience the work at The Tate. So I enjoyed it at home on my computer!” Does she have any more forthcoming art collaborations? “Not at the moment, but I did direct a short video on my own. But it’s hard to top Takashi.”
