Yayoi Kusama – ‘The Vision of Fantasy’

11:00–17:30 (Open Thu–Mon)・Jul 30, 2020–Mar 29, 2021・Yayoi Kusama Museum 107 Bentencho, Shinjuku-ku

From Yayoi Kusama comes the new exhibition, The Vision of Fantasy That We Have Never Seen Is This Splendor. As Kusama began her artistic career at a young age, drawing her hallucinations to overcome her fears of them. These early visions and her expansive inner world have come to shape – indeed, dominate – her art. The Vision of Fantasy collection spans much of her long career, from her latest and wildly popular canvas series My Eternal Soul to her equally famous immersive installations to never-before-seen works. From these we get a sense of the present state of her visions, which transcribe some of the older, previously fearful motifs onto scenes of ecstasy.

All tickets must be purchased online in advance. You may only enter during your 90-minute slot. Tickets go on sale here on the 1st of each month.
