The Fondation Beyeler presents the first solo exhibition in Switzerland dedicated to Yayoi Kusama, showcasing over 300 works spanning seven decades. Developed with the artist and her Tokyo studio, the exhibition features pieces from global collections, highlighting Yayoi Kusama’s influence. From her early 1950s paintings in Japan to her avant-garde contributions in 1960s New York and her return to Japan in the 1970s, Kusama’s versatile practice defies categorization, encompassing painting, sculpture, installation, performance, and more. Her iconic motifs—polka dots, nets, and mirrors—explore infinity, self-dissolution, and transcendence. Key works include over 130 pieces new to Europe, iconic infinity nets, accumulation sculptures, Narcissus Garden (1966/2025), and a new Infinity Mirror Room created for this exhibition. Spanning 10 galleries and the museum’s garden, the exhibition runs until January 25, 2026. The exhibition is jointly organized by Fondation Beyeler with Museum Ludwig in Cologne (14 March 2026 – 2 August 2026) and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (11 September 2026 – 17 January 2027).<br /><br />Yayoi Kusama Retrospective at Fondation Beyeler.
