Explore Yayoki Kusama over forty years of selected work.
This prolific and internationally acclaimed Japanese artist is understood through film, documentation of performances, sculpture, installation work and painting, including a recent body of 50 new print works produced over the last three years.
Kusama’s paintings, collages, soft sculptures, performances and environmental installations all share an obsession with repetition, pattern and accumulation. Her work is intensely sensual, infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content.
This exhibition includes works from the 1960s including Narcissus Garden (1966) which comprises a set of 500 stainless steel spheres, as well as immersive infinity spaces Fireflies on the Water (2000) and Infinity Mirror Room (1965).
Kusama’s performances are documented in films such as Love-in Festival and Kusama’s Self-Obliteration, as well as an installation with slidesWalking Piece (all from 1968).
