Editor's Note: In light of the COVID-19 epidemic, the Yayoi Kusama exhibition has been postponed until 2021. Exact dates have not yet been set. The NYBG announced the news on April 2. The artist offered her own statement in support of the move: "The passion that I and those at The New York Botanical Garden have poured into this exhibition is still burning. Everyone, I hope you will wait. We aspire for endless love permeated with everyone's heart's of human love, a wish for peace in the world, our dreams, and wonders of hope—it is our wish that this exhibition can offer these as its greatest gift. I hope you all can wait. With all my heart, Yayoi Kusama."
Fans of the polka-dotted art of the legendary Yayoi Kusama can start plotting a trek to the Bronx for spring. The internationally celebrated Japanese artist's work takes over the 250 acres of the New York Botanical Garden, filling its grounds and historic buildings during a major exhibition entitled, Kusama: Cosmic Nature.
Details for this comprehensive exploration of the artist's lifelong fascination with the natural world have just been released. And yes, the show, which debuts May 9, features a pair of Kusama’s immersive infinity rooms.
