KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature at NYBG has been this summer’s blockuster show in New York City.
Contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the most popular artists in the world, drawing millions to experience her immersive installations.
Exclusively at NYBG, Kusama reveals her lifelong fascination with the natural world, beginning with her childhood spent in the greenhouses and fields of her family’s seed nursery. Her artistic concepts of obliteration, infinity, and eternity are inspired by her intimate engagement with the colors, patterns, and life cycles of plants and flowers.
Now the next phase of the exhiition is scheduled to open.
Kusama’s new immersive installation, Infinity Mirrored Room—Illusion Inside the Heart (2020), responds to varying natural light through colored glass throughout the day and seasons.
