SUMMARY:NY | Yayoi Kusama Private Viewing and the Opening of MoCA Westport
DESCRIPTION:Image: Yayoi Kusama with Narcissus Garden\, 1966 \nThis event offers ArtTable members and friends the unique opportunity to view Yayoi Kusama’s Where the Lights in My Heart Goand Narcissus Garden at MoCA Westport\, one week following the museum’s opening on September 22nd. To celebrate the museum’s opening and the first time these two works have been shown in tandem on the East Coast\, members will hear directly from Amanda Innes\, Executive Director\, MoCA Westport\, formerly the Westport Arts Center and enjoy a private after hours reception. \nThroughout her career\, Yayoi Kusama has developed a practice\, which\, though it shares affiliations with movements such as Surrealism\, Minimalism and Pop Art\, resists any singular classification. Born in Matsumoto City\, Japan\, in 1929\, she studied painting in Kyoto before moving to New York in the late 1950s\, and became well known in the avant-garde world for her provocative happenings and exhibitions. Since then Kusama’s extraordinary artistic endeavours have spanned painting\, drawing\, collage\, sculpture\, performance\, film\, printmaking\, installation and environmental art as well as literature\, fashion and product design. In 2016\, Kusama received the Order of Culture\, one of the highest honours bestowed by the Imperial Family in Japan. Kusama is the first woman to be honoured with the prestigious medal for drawings and sculptures. Kusama lives and works in Tokyo\, where the Yayoi Kusama Museum opened in October 2017. Over the past decade there have been museum exhibitions of Kusama’s work enjoyed by millions of visitors in Argentina\, Australia\, Brazil\, Canada\, Chile\, China\, Denmark\, England\, Finland\, France\, Indonesia\, Japan\, Mexico\, Norway\, Russia\, South Korea\, Singapore\, Spain\, Sweden\, and the United States.
