On and off, Yayoi Kusama has spent over 41 years in a mental institution. “It made it possible for me to continue to make art every day,” she told The Guardian in 2018, “and this has saved my life.” Kusama transforms her demons into glimmering polka-dot visions called Infinity Mirrors Rooms. Entering one of these installations is like falling down a rabbit hole. Though 94, she is still hard at work. In one of Kusama’s largest gallery presentations to date—filling three Zwirner galleries on 19th Street—new paintings, sculptures, pumpkins, and flowers are on view. “I think I will be able to keep on making art as long as I am alive,” the artist wrote in her autobiography. “That’s because art is something that exists beyond time.” —Elena Clavarino
