A few more months are left for the “One with Eternity: Yayoi Kusama in the Hirshhorn Collection” show.
The Hirshhorn Museum has extended its exhibition of the celebrated art of Yayoi Kusama, who turns 94 on Wednesday, until July 16. Prior to that, it was supposed to terminate this spring.
Why it’s important The exhibition is really well-liked. Hirshhorn believes that more than 350,000 individuals have attended thus far (not including kids 12 and under.)
Visitors adore the exhibition in part because it focuses on Kusama’s mirror rooms, which feature her distinctive polka dot designs. Although brief, the experience is ideal for fun pictures and people with short attention spans.
All of Kusama’s previously on display pieces, including the recognizable yellow and black “Pumpkin,” will remain.”Self-Portrait,” an etching on loan from the National Museum of Asian Art, and “Yayoi Kusama Cp AP,” a photogram of Kusama by photographer Kunié Sugiura, will both remain on display in addition to the mirror rooms, “Phalli’s Field” (red polka dots) and “My Heart Is Dancing into the Universe” (multicolored polka dots).
What to see: Every day at 12:00, get free next-day passes online. Alternatively, Hirshhorn Insider members have access to at least two passes good for a single visit any time the museum is open.
Pro tip: Tickets will sell out quickly, especially now that the hectic spring travel season has begun. Aim to get tickets as soon as 12:00 if you are not a Hirshhorn Insider. Officials from the museum claim that they frequently run out.
