Art Talk with Professor Thomas Germano - Yayoi Kusama at the New York Botanical Garden

From April 10, 2021 through October 31, 2021, the New York Botanical Garden will present the long anticipated, rescheduled, multisensory, blockbuster exhibition of the internationally celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. The site specific NYBG exhibition is designed to capture and illuminate the artist’s profound engagement with nature across the 250-acre landmark landscape and buildings, throughout the changing seasons from spring through fall.

Included at the NYBG are Yayoi’s signature mirrored environments and organic forms, polka-dotted sculptures of colossal flora, mesmerizing nature-based paintings, biomorphic collages, works on paper, botanical sketches, as well as a spectacular horticultural showcase in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. The exhibition will also present brand-new works created by Yayoi specifically for NYBG, including a monumental site-specific pumpkin sculpture and her first-ever participatory greenhouse installation that will be transformed over the course of the exhibition. Professor Thomas Germano will present a virtual, visual lecture about the NYBG exhibition set within the context of Yayoi Kusama’s art and life.
