‘Tulips’ in new exhibit
“With All My Love for the Tulips, I Pray Forever,” 2011, by Tokyo-based artist Yayoi Kusama is in a new exhibit at the Marcianao Art Foundation, 4357 Wilshire Blvd. The oversized flower-potted tulips in the work are made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic and painted with the same red polka dots as the floor, ceiling and walls.
Kusama studied in Kyoto before moving to New York City in the 1950s until the 1970s. Her work — based in conceptual art — is primarily in sculpture and installation, and she is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction and other arts.
