Yayoi Kusama: Retrospective

Yayoi Kusama has shaped an universe for over sixty years where the dot becomes the fundamental unit of infinity. The Stedelijk Museum gathers rare pieces from around the globe to trace the evolution of this Japanese icon, from her early experimental canvases to monumental luminous installations. Between obsessive dots and iconic pumpkins, each creation testifies to her intimate struggle with mental health and her fascination with the dissolution of the self. The famous mirrored rooms here transform the space into an endless horizon, offering a unique sensory journey to the heart of the artist’s psyche. This exceptional selection highlights the boldness of a creator who dared to challenge taboos to establish herself as an indispensable figure in contemporary art. To be admired at the Museumkwartier from September 11, 2026 to January 17, 2027.
