Due to the pandemic, the outdoor exhibition of Yayoi Kusama, “KUSAMA: COSMIC NATURE”, which was postponed to this year, has finally officially opened at the New York Botanical Garden in the United States, attracting a large number of art enthusiasts and fans of Yayoi Kusama to make reservations for a visit!
“KUSAMA: COSMIC NATURE” outdoor exhibition is one of the most eye-catching large-scale exhibitions by contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama in recent years, showcasing multiple large-scale works by Kusama in the 101-acre New York Botanical Garden, including: “Hymn of Life—Tulips”, “Ascension of Polka Dots on the Trees”, “Infinity Mirrored Room—Illusion Inside the Heart”, and “Narcissus Garden”. In addition, there are new sculptures making their debut, “Dancing Pumpkin” and “I Want to Fly to the Universe”.
In addition to large-scale works, the plants in the park are also dressed up for the exhibition. The organizers have specially decorated the tree trunks with red and white polka dots that are characteristic of Yayoi Kusama. Depending on the season, the park will also display flowers and greenery related to Yayoi Kusama, allowing visitors to feel like they are entering the imaginative world of the Polka Dot Queen and experience Yayoi Kusama’s unique polka dot aesthetic from multiple angles. “KUSAMA: COSMIC NATURE” will be held from now until October 31. For those who cannot personally visit the exhibition in the US, they can only imagine being there through online photos.
