Famed Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama will be the subject of a touring exhibition, with the 87-year-old artist's “infinity mirror” installations set to travel the US in 2017 through 2018.

Debuting on 23 February 2017 at the Smithsonian Institution’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors will then travel to a number of notable museums across the US including the Seattle Art Museum, the Broad in Los Angeles, Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The exhibition uses a dark mirror-lined room coupled with a series of luminous colours, which reflect infinitely to create stunning imagery. Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors will use six variations of the concept alongside a collection of the artist’s work from her decades-long career.

The touring exhibition is expected to pull in big numbers, with Kusama’s last exhibition Infinite Obsession drawing more than two million visitors across South and Central America.

Labelled as one of Japan’s most important living artists, Kusama uses a psychedelic style across a wide variety of mediums including painting, collage, scat sculpture, performance art, and environmental installations, with many of her works focused on the theme of repetition and pattern. Her infinity rooms date back to 1965.
