Visitors experiencing Yayoi Kusama’s “Infinity Mirrored Room—My Heart Is Dancing into the Universe” (2018) at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
The wildly popular work of artist Yayoi Kusama will return to D.C.’s Hirshhorn Museum this spring.
“One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection” will be on display at the museum starting April 1, museum officials announced Monday. The exhibition will feature two of Kusama’s “Infinity Mirror Rooms.”
The rooms that became a social media sensation in 2017 “represent the continuing trajectory of the artist’s bold investigation of space and time through illusions of infinity,” a statement by the museum said.
“Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field (Floor Show)” is a 2017 reimagining of a Kusama piece first displayed in 1965, the museum said. “Infinity Mirrored Room—My Heart Is Dancing into the Universe” was created in 2018.
