Yayoi Kusama Exhibition

Judd Foundation

This event has ended.

Judd Foundation presents an exhibition of four paintings by Yayoi Kusama on the ground floor of 101 Spring Street in New York. The installation will be free and open to the public.

Donald Judd was a friend and advocate of Kusama’s early work in the Infinity Net series, writing as a critic for ARTnews, “Yayoi Kusama is an original painter. The five white, very large paintings [presented at the artist-run Brata Gallery in 1959] are strong, advanced in concept and realized.” The artists lived in the same building in the early 1960s, where Kusama constructed her first sculptural installations at the same time that Judd constructed his. Judd later installed an early ceramic work by Kusama, a gift from the artist, in his library at La Mansana de Chinati/The Block in Marfa, Texas.

Curated by Flavin Judd, the exhibition at 101 Spring Street includes recent and new works from the artist’s ongoing Infinity Net series.
