Yayoi Kusama's INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET'S SURVIVE FOREVER
Peer into a seemingly infinite field of silver orbs
For more than 70 years, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) has invited people to participate in her groundbreaking visions of infinity. Over the past three decades, this prolific experimental artist has become an internationally acclaimed art-world icon, with work presented across the globe. INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER features mirrored spheres suspended from the ceiling and arranged on the floor. A mirrored column inside the room invites visitors to peer into a seemingly infinite field of silver orbs. Thanks to the generosity of over 4,700 #InfinityAGO donors who participated in the AGO's ambitious crowdfunding campaign and the David Yuile & Mary Elizabeth Hodgson Fund, Yayoi Kusama’s INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER is now a part of the AGO Collection. The artwork will be closed for regular maintenance every Wednesday and Friday between 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 3 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. From time to time, the artwork may be closed, sometimes without notice.
