The brooding billionaire has walls higher than the office towers he owns. Cold, commanding, and so off-limits, he might as well have “Do Not Touch” stamped on his forehead. It all starts with a mural—my masterpiece splashed on his building without permission. His glare could freeze fire, but the town has other plans.

Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art.

I became good at it. And I became the ...
