Polka dot pumpkins, starry infinity mirrors and kaleidoscopic sculptures. Even if you don’t know the name Yayoi Kusama, you’ll certainly have seen her work all over social media.
The 93-year-old Japanese artist has had Instagram in a chokehold over the last few years. Her last UK exhibition, ‘Infinity Mirror Rooms’ at the Tate Modern, sold out months in advance and was extended multiple times due to overwhelming demand. After three years the exhibition finally closed back in April.
If you missed out that time, not to worry. You might get a chance to snap some sparkly selfies at Kusuma’s exhibition at the Victoria Miro gallery next week.
Tickets and dates
Running from September 25 to November 2 2024, it’ll be the artist's fourteenth solo show at the north London gallery. Expect a brand new Infinity Mirror Room plus a new series of bright paintings titled ‘Everyday I Pray For Love’.
In a press release, the gallery said: ‘Created in a more intimate format, these paintings continue the artist’s singular explorations of line and form. Often minutely detailed, with characteristically bold accents of colour, they evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes. The exhibition also features new sculptures, which will be on view in the gallery and on the canalside terrace.’
Tickets are free but currently fully booked, all returns will be posted to the website so keep your eyes peeled.
Yayoi Kusama will be at Victoria Miro, Sep 25-Nov 2. Free. More details here.
