Experience this ambitious world-premiere exhibition at NGV International, celebrating the illustrious career of iconic contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama.
The blockbuster exhibition spans eight-decades of Kusama’s work, celebrating a dynamic practice transcending borders to establish global presence. This unmissable exhibition is also the one of the most comprehensive retrospectives of the artist’s work ever presented globally.
Born in Japan in 1929, Yayoi Kusama is one of the world’s most important and recognized living artists.
A provocateur by nature, Kusama has contributed to key art movements, including Minimalism, Pop Art and feminist art across the United States, Europe and her native Japan. This exhibition features more than 200 of her works, including sculptures and installations never-before-seen by local audiences and the global unveiling of a new immersive infinity mirror room.
