Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Switzerland

October 2025–January 2027

In October 2025, the Fondation Beyeler will be the first museum in Switzerland to devote a retrospective to renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Organized in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, the exhibition will offer a complete overview of Kusama’s more than seven-decade career. Alongside some of her most iconic artworks, the exhibition will feature early works never seen in Europe before as well as new productions and one of the artist’s celebrated Infinity Mirror Rooms. The exhibition will highlight the wealth of artistic media Kusama has worked with over the years, among them painting, sculpture, installations, drawing, collage, happenings, live performances, fashion and literature.

The exhibition is jointly organized by Fondation Beyeler (on view October 12, 2025–January 25, 2026) with Museum Ludwig in Cologne (on view March 14, 2026–August 2, 2026) and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (on view September 11, 2026–January 17, 2027).

The exhibition is supported by Beyeler-Siftung and Hans Jörg Wyss, Wyss Foundation.
