You’ve seen them everywhere over town…the enigmatic dotted signs with the face of Yayoi Kusama peering out. During Fashion’s Night Out, the Vuitton store was ablaze in polka dots, all a tribute to this reclusive Japanese pop-art sensation who burst upon the Manhattan art scene in the 1960s.
This is the last weekend to see her retrospective in person at The Whitney, but if you can’t make it, enjoy the Vuitton collection that she inspired (they’ve created a whole website).
Take a peek into the show.
And click on this link to see a documentary clip about this Kusama’s life. Be surprised and find out how to merge into infinity!
As usual, you remind me of why living here is soo terrific. Thanks Ms. B! This is a great heads up.
Thanks, Jack. I know how great you look in dots! By the way, Kusama’s infinity chamber “Fireflies on the Water” is extended until October 28.
