Stop by and see our September exhibition spotlighting the late Yayoi Kusama. She was a Japanese artist best known for sculpture and installation, but she also worked in painting, performance, video, fashion, poetry, fiction and other arts; her work was rooted in conceptual art and showed traces of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, art brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism.
