Sometimes referred to as the “Dot Lady”, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has been a prominent figure in the avant-garde art scene since the 1950's.
Throughout her career Yayoi has been fascinated with the idea of endlessness in space and vision. In 1965 she transformed the intense repetition of her earlier paintings and works into a perceptual experience created her first installation incorporating mirrors, Infinity Mirror Room: Phalli’s Field.
Since the debut of her very first room, the artist has produced more than twenty distinct Infinity Mirror Rooms.
The Tate Modern will present a year-long Yayoi Kusama exhibition featuring two of her installations, Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance and Chandelier of Grief.
Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirror Rooms takes place from 29 March 2021 to 27 March 2022 at Tate Modern Bankside London SE1 9TG.
