  CLOSING SOON Yayoi Kusama Through September 30 "Heroic, barrier-crashing"—The New York Times Well known for her use of dense patterns of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense, large-scale environments, Yayoi Kusama works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance, and immersive installation. Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama came to the United States in 1957 and quickly found herself at the epicenter of the New York avant-garde. After achieving fame through groundbreaking exhibitions and art “happenings,” she returned to her native country in 1973 and is now one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary artists. This retrospective features works spanning Kusama’s career. Fireflies on the Water Timed Ticketing  Special timed tickets are required for entry into Yayoi Kusama's Fireflies on the Water. Only one person is allowed in the installation at a time, and the viewing time is limited to one minute.
