If you're ever in Denmark, go visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art! It's a really fantastic collection (including the Kusama room), but also a beautiful building and a really nice place to walk around in.
Sad! I really enjoyed going to the Kusama exhibit with my (now) wife years ago, and my daughter had a Kusama phase when she was about 5 years old and dressed up like her with a hot pink wig and polka dot outbit.
I had an amazing time visiting her exhibit when it came through my town. Being in the mirror rooms was really fun and her glowing glass pumpkins and squashes are playful in form and color and fun to look at.
There were unfortunately so many people who insisted on taking photos of themselves inside the mirror rooms that they would drop their phones and break the glass sculptures. How frustrating that people can't just enjoy art directly!
On the other hand, I live in Japan where photography is almost always forbidden/extremely restricted in museums, which is nice because you’re not surrounded by people taking selfies and being inconvenienced… but man it’s really annoying to not be able to take photos of things for later research etc.
This fall there will be an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. She stayed for some time in the Netherlands, met with Dutch artists, and organized events with them.

I realized that art was a way to let my crazy run downhill.
It was just a random Youtube recommendation.
I’ve been subscribed to the Louisiana Channel ever since.
