“The world I see is endless space.” – Yayoi Kusama, 2015.
Known for her polka dot and mirrored installations, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama creates magical worlds where endless possibilities immerse the viewer in infinite imaginations of space and visual wonder; populated by repetitious workings of dots, eyes, nets, flowers, and pumpkins that evoke sensory visual illusions.
THE SPIRITS OF THE PUMPKINS DESCENDED INTO THE HEAVENS explodes with a lashing of bright yellow, black polka dots, and illuminated pumpkin sculptures.
