In celebration of her retrospective at the Whitney Museum, Yayoi Kusama’s works are currently on display at two downtown Manhattan sites near the Whitney’s future home in the Meatpacking District. Kusama’s Yellow Trees building wrap transforms a tall building into a giant canvas. The scrim at 345 West 14th Street at 9th Avenue features a detail of the original painting Yellow Trees (1994), greatly enlarged so that its powerful sinuous patterns envelop the new twelve-story construction project. Visitors to Hudson River Park’s Pier 45 can enjoy Kusama’s vibrant multi-part installation, Guidepost to the New Space, throughout the summer. Bright red polka-dotted forms nestle in the grass like a herd of otherworldly abstractions, transforming the pier and its spectacular urban skyline. Upon your visit, please do not climb, sit, or play on the sculptures. They are more fragile than they seem.
