The wall-sized Large Girl with No Eyes, painted in 2001 in a pseudo-Pop Art style, shows a close-up of a blond schoolgirl's face abruptly eclipsed by a blue-black swathe across her eyes.

It may also lead to efforts to corral the largely unregulated and fast-growing hedge-fund world, which has $600 billion in assets. It's the hedge funds, investment vehicles available mainly to the wealthy, that sometimes roil markets with rapid trades of stocks, bonds and currencies and that appear to be the main clients that have traded mutual fund shares...
