Responsible for some of the most Instagrammable art of our times, Kusama creates bold, graphic sculptures of pumpkins, flora and slithering unidentified creatures, as well as bewitching Infinity Mirrored Rooms, featuring repeating displays of light and colour. Her pieces have a hallucinatory quality informed by time in 1960s New York and continuing mental illness (she’s lived voluntarily in a psychiatric institution since 1977): viewers in the rooms can immerse themselves in Kusama’s repetitive worlds, while her sculptures are outsized, paint box bright and decked out in polka dots. |
