A multisensory presentation of Yayoi Kusama’s profound connection with nature
Contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is one of the most popular artists in the world, drawing millions to experience her immersive installations that explore the interconnectedness of all living things.

With NYBG as the exclusive exhibition venue, 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 and patterns of plants and flowers.

The experience will feature multiple installations including sculpture, paintings, biomorphic collages, botanical sketches and more. Kusama will debut her new immersive piece, Infinity Mirrored Room: Illusion Inside the Heart (2020) which will have timed entries.

NYBG is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10am-6pm

Gallery is wheelchair accessible
