Nine Permanent Homes of Yayoi Kusama's Art Across the Globe

A comprehensive guide to nine permanent installations of Yayoi Kusama's work, spanning four continents, from a massive sculpture at London's Liverpool Street Station to a bronze pumpkin in a Honolulu shopping mall. The list, compiled by Time Out, highlights the diversity of settings where her art resides, including train stations, museums, and outdoor spaces. Notable sites include the Yayoi Kusama Museum in Tokyo, which requires timed tickets that sell out quickly; the yellow and red pumpkins on Naoshima island, with the yellow one replaced after a typhoon in 2021; and the Art Gallery of New South Wales' illuminated flower garden in Sydney. The guide also covers The Broad in Los Angeles, which holds two Infinity Mirror Rooms, and the National Gallery of Australia's peephole mirror room, which tours periodically. Kusama's death in Tokyo on August 14, 2026, at age 97, adds significance to these permanent sites, as they now serve as lasting access to her work. The article emphasizes the varying accessibility of each installation, from spontaneous encounters at transit hubs to advance reservations required for popular rooms.
