Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Switzerland
October 12, 2025–January 25, 2026
The Fondation Beyeler presents the first museum retrospective in Switzerland devoted to renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Organized in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, the exhibition brings together over 300 works from Japan, Singapore, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Sweden, France and Switzerland.
Spanning over seven decades, the exhibition traces Kusama’s extraordinary journey from her earliest creative efforts in postwar Japan to her internationally celebrated status today.
This landmark exhibition will feature a wide range of iconic pieces, including over 130 works that have never been shown in Europe, alongside new works produced specifically for this occasion. Among the highlights are her mesmerising early works, the iconic infinity nets and the accumulation sculptures, Narcissus Garden, 1966/2025, and Infinity Mirrored Room – Illusion Inside the Heart, 2025. The exhibition also features a brand-new Infinity Mirror Room and immersive environment created especially for the exhibition.
The exhibition is jointly organized by Fondation Beyeler with Museum Ludwig in Cologne, where it will travel in spring 2026, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, where it will be on view in the fall of 2026.
