Kusama on Tour

It has been a milestone year for Yayoi Kusama, and 2025 shows no signs of slowing down. In March, Kusama dominated headlines at Art Basel Hong Kong when her 2013 acrylic-on-canvas painting Infinity-Nets [ORUPX] sold for an impressive $3.5 million. Around the same time, her Melbourne retrospective at the National Gallery of Victoria became the most attended exhibition in Australian history, a testament to her enduring power to captivate audiences across continents.

This autumn, Kusama will receive yet another landmark retrospective, travelling to several museums across Europe.

Opening on October 12, 2025, the Fondation Beyeler in Basel, will be the first museum in Switzerland to devote a retrospective to Yayoi Kusama. This will offer a “complete overview” of the artist’s more than seven-decade career, according to the museum. Organised in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, the exhibition will feature early works never seen in Europe before as well as entirely new productions, made specifically for the show, and one of the artist’s celebrated Infinity Mirror Rooms.

After its time at the Fondation Beyeler, Yayoi Kusama will land at Cologne’s Museum Ludwig on March 14, 2026, and, after that, at Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum on September 11, 2026, where it’ll run through January 17, 2027.

Another exhibition in Osaka, Japan at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, titled Yayoi Kusama: Infinity – Selected Works from the Collection, is planned to run between 16th July 2025 - 12th January 2026. This exhibition brings together works throughout Kusama's oeuvre, providing audiences with a chronological arc to her works and showcases holdings of the Collection at the Espaces Louis Vuitton in Tokyo, Munich, Venice, Beijing, Seoul and Osaka.
