‘Fireflies on the Water’
 closes October 28

Yayoi Kusama’s depictions of seemingly endless space have been a central focus of her artistic career. Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water (2002) – with its carefully constructed environment of lights, mirrors, and water – is one of the outstanding examples of this kind of installation, which creates a space in which individual viewers are invited to transcend their sense of self. This very special show at New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art closes on 28 October

Special timed tickets are required for entry into Fireflies on the Water. Only one person is allowed in the installation at a time, and the viewing time is limited to one minute. Tickets are free with Museum admission and are only available day-of-visit on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend you arrive early, as tickets are extremely limited and can sell out early. There are special arrangements for Whitney members to see the work outside usual hours – see the museum website  for details.
