The upcoming exhibition at the Yayoi Kusama Museum, from October 16, 2025, to March 8, 2026, explores two emblematic aspects of the artist's personality: on the one hand, the "fighting woman," the female fighter who emerged during her New York period as a response to an artistic environment dominated by white men, on the other, the "painting girl," the innocent young woman who recurs in her recent works through vivid colors and playful figures. The exhibition features works spanning decades of research, including early drawings, Aggregation sculptures created to address sexual trauma, archival documents of her nude performances and provocative fashion projects, and intense paintings that seem to shape her inner world. Also on display is a new, smaller-scale Infinity Room, making its world debut. This installation invites the viewer to engage with the artist's duality: on one side, her rebellious soul, on the other, her naive sensibility, offering a comprehensive glimpse into the complexity of her creative universe.
