Just in case, you’ve never heard the name Yayoi Kusama, you’ve probably seen her work. The 88-year-old Japanese artist with her bright red hair is known for creating infinity rooms that often play with mirror effects, has a (serious) addiction to colourful polka dot environments, and has pumpkin sculptures as her signature pieces, and is a something of a social media darling.
Literally, hundreds of thousands of people already have queued somewhere to see her work – from The Broad museum in L.A. to National Gallery in Singapore – to take a picture-perfect selfie in one of her mind-blowing installations.
Both shows will run through December 16, and are free of charge. But on the gallery’s website, an anticipated waiting time of two to four hours is announced. So rather don`t squeeze it in for a quick stop on your way back home from work – as that might not work.
