A Yayoi Kusama exhibition that opened on April 10 at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) will include a newly commissioned version of the Japanese artist s celebrated series of immersive Infinity Mirror Rooms, the centerpiece of many Kusama shows.
The work Infinity Mirrored Room Illusion Inside the Heart (2020) comprises a cube-like glass structure with a reflective surface pierced by small holes, but it may only remain viewable from the outside depending on state-wide restrictions.

After a year spent largely inside, New Yorkers have a joyful gift awaiting them at the New York Botanical Garden. The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s mirrored orbs, bold polka dots, and signature pumpkins are being unveiled after a year’s delay amid the seasonal rebirth that is early spring, surrounded by blossoming daffodils and cherry trees.
“People are just itching to be outdoors and to see something cultural again,” Nicholas Lechi, the garden’s senior director of communications, told Artnet News.
