Like other entries in the series, viewers are invited to step inside a small mirrored room filled with Kusama\u2019s whimsical, often polka-dotted sculptures, in this case, her signature yellow and black pumpkins. The effect is a kaleidoscopic sea of sculptures stretching into oblivion\u2014very selfie-friendly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \"><em>All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins<\/em>\u00a0is \u201ckey to understanding [Kusama\u2019s] practice,\u201d Gavin Delahunty, a contemporary-art curator at the museum, said in a statement in 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Due to its popularity, the installation comes with a recommendation of one to four visitors at a time, though that didn\u2019t prevent property damage during its stint at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. In a headline-grabbing 2017 incident, a visitor tripped on one of the hand-painted acrylic gourds, shattering it in the process, while trying to take a photo. The<em>\u00a0Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0reported at the time that the museum instructed for no security to be in the narrow room with visitors, who are allowed 30 seconds inside of viewing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">A Hirshhorn spokesperson told the\u00a0<em>Post<\/em>\u00a0that the cost of replacing a pumpkin was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\">negligible<\/a>,\u201d and the site-specific nature of the installation allows for seemingly endless reconfigurations, all of which are executed in consultation with Kusama.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">The 95-year-old Japanese artist is one of the most profitable contemporary artists of today. She grossed $80.9 million at auction last year, beating out David Hockney for the spot of top-selling contemporary artist of 2023 (her most expensive piece sold was the painting\u00a0<em>A Flower\u00a0<\/em>(2014), which fetched nearly $10 million at Christie\u2019s Hong Kong).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Museums are similarly shelling out to add a Kusama to their collection. In June, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art announced that it had acquired the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AtelierAuctionsg\">Infinity Room<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<em>Dreaming of Earth\u2019s Sphericity, I Would Offer My Love<\/em>\u00a0(2023). The installation, consisting of large transparent acrylic dots suspended like a constellation, will remain on view through January of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">As of this June, SFMOMA reported that its Kusama show, \u201cInfinite Love,\u201d had been seen by 170,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next May, one of\u00a0Yayoi Kusama\u2019s most famous \u201cInfinity Rooms\u201d returns to Dallas, ending an infinitely-Instagrammed museum tour.
