Yayoi Kusama, one of the big kahunas of 1960s avante-garde art, just celebrated her 80th birthday,  with a mixed media art installation in Gagosian Gallery, NYC last April 16- June 27, 2009. Doesn’t sound like such a party? You should see how stunning it was.

This is the “Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity,” a play on lights and space, it has lights draping from the ceiling casting shadows over the water below. This installation gives the illusion of infinity, one of Kusama’s favorite themes.

Belated Happy Birthday Yayoi Kusama, that’s better than making a wish on a few candles.-KIT G
