Yayoi Kusama exhibition kicks off in China

One of the most iconic contemporary artists in the world today, 90-year-old Yayoi Kusama from Japan is having a large-scale exhibition at the Fosun Foundation in Shanghai.

The new exhibition is "tailor-made" specifically for Fosun Foundation Shanghai, according to Duanmu Xiazi, artistic director of the institution. Although Kusama was not in Shanghai for the exhibition, staff from her studio had made repeated visits to Fosun to ensure the exhibits perfectly complement the architecture of the Fosun Foundation, which is located along the Bund.

More than 40 of the artist's works, all of which represent highlights of her illustrious 70-year career, are on show, including the famous installation Infinity Mirrored Rooms, a three-meter-tall outdoor pumpkin sculpture located in front of the museum, and a three-dimensional polka-dot installation that fills a 100-square-meter space.
