Kusama Before the Crowds
Art & Design 2025-10-05 • Written by: Millie Sealana
Pumpkins, infinity, and luminous polka worlds — Kusama's language of repetition and wonder arrives at Fondation Beyeler in Riehen, near Basel. The exhibition explores the artist's enduring fascination with the infinite, transforming the galleries into immersive environments that blur the line between viewer and artwork.
Fondation Beyeler's setting — Renzo Piano's glass pavilion surrounded by fields and old trees — provides a contemplative counterpoint to Kusama's maximalism. The infinity rooms, the pumpkin installations, and the polka-dot trees that spill into the garden create a journey that oscillates between intimacy and overwhelm.
