For the first time since 2018, the DMA will install Yayoi Kusama’s All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, an iteration of the artist’s iconic Infinity Mirror Rooms incorporating one of the artist’s quintessential symbols, the pumpkin. This boundary-pushing experiential work draws on several of Kusama’s characteristic themes, including infinity, the sublime, and obsessive repetition, allowing the viewer to literally become a part of the art.
DMA Members get free and early access to exhibition tickets on Monday, April 7, 2025. Tickets go on sale to the public on April 8, 2025. Members see the exhibition early, during Member Preview Days, May 1–4, 2025. Learn how members get more and sign up for your membership at dma.org/support/become-a-member.
