Infinity Room, Dancing Pumpkin, and more from Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama is one of the few living contemporary artists whose works are auctioned for millions of dollars.
In the botanical garden, in New York, an exhibition of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama will be held. The exhibition will be called “Cosmic Nature” and will be dedicated to the artist’s long-term study of nature, which began in early childhood in Japan, where the family owned a flower nursery. The exhibition will feature works by Kusama’s seventy-year period, ranging from sketching flowers, painted at age 16, and new works specially created for this exhibition.

The newest exhibit at the exhibition will be a monumental bronze sculpture called “Dancing Pumpkin”, which will allow each visitor to approach this exhibition from different sides, and even walk around it and around it. It will be installed outdoors, according to the organizers of the exhibition, the exhibit will have a height of about 16 pounds or about 5 meters.
Kusama herself once described her “sense of destruction by flowers," as a child in a field near a house in Matsumoto - this is an indelible event that probably influenced numerous aspects of her work, from her frenzied depiction of flora to her world, which immerses and absorbs the environment .
Also on November 28, Thanksgiving over New York, Yayoi Kusama's balloon will take off as part of Macy's annual Thanksgiving Day parade.

According to the organizer of the parade, they wanted to work with Kusama for many years, including with the exhibition of her works, which was supposed to open at David Zwirner in Chelsea on November 9, it felt like now was the right time. The project is part of the program of the Blue Sky Gallery parade, launched in 2005, which was attended by artists such as Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami and KAWS. Kusama, 90 years old and who lives in Japan, will be the first woman to take part.
Her work lends itself to the gaming feeling that everyone likes to see. It is not surprising that now she is so famous in the world, after many years of oblivion and unrecognizability. After all, when she was considered the queen of performance and installations.
The parade is an opportunity to "convey fine art to a wide audience" in order to stimulate further research in art.
