If you haven’t heard of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, you may have seen images of her dream-like installations, paintings, or sculptures floating around on Instagram, where the octogenarian has become something of a viral sensation.
Kusuma’s latest exhibition, Infinity Mirrors, spans her prolific 65-year career and is currently on a tour of six North American cities where sold-out tickets have reportedly been so hard to acquire, Kusama has been likened to a rock star of the art universe. The exhibition includes installations, sculptures and a series of paintings that have never been shown before in the U.S.
Now showing at Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto through May 27, the exhibition will then go on to the Cleveland Museum of Art (July 9 – Sept. 30) and the High Museum of Art in Atlanta (Nov. 18 – Feb. 17). Run, don’t walk, to buy your tickets to this not-to-be-missed show.
