Yayoi Kusama: A Quieter Art ExtravaganzaA calmer way to experience Kusama02.07.2026, 10:00 Uhr
and 02.07.2026, 15:00 Uhr
Museum Ludwig

If you love Kusama but prefer a calmer viewing experience, this ArtTalk is for you. Same artist, different mood. We’ll take our time, move thoughtfully through key works, and focus on what guided conversation can unlock when the room isn’t rushing.

We’ll explore how Kusama builds intensity through repetition and pattern. How dots, nets, and immersive spaces shift your perception. Why her work can feel both joyful and unsettling;addressing pain, love, and her philosophy that everything is in never-ending renewal. 🔄️

We’ll look closely at her Infinity Net paintings, her first installation Aggregation: One Thousand Boats Show, and works spanning her 70+ year practice. Expect reflection, conversation, and a few “I never noticed that before” moments.

• 💡 Long Cologne Thursday opening, museum entrance free for Cologne citizens (with proof).
• 💰 ArtTalks Fee: €28
• 📍 Meeting Point: Central foyer, by the column with the BLUE dot.

Let’s experience Kusama with space to breathe.
