Kusama to Infinity and Beyond

Midday on WNYC | Sep 5, 2018

Heather Lenz discusses her new documentary, Kusama – Infinity, which opens September 7 in Los Angeles and New York and nationwide September 14. Now the top-selling female artist in the world, Yayoi Kusama overcame impossible odds to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage. Kusama created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation, performance, poetry, and literary fiction. Also joining the discussion is Hanna Schouwink, a Yayoi Kusama expert and senior partner at the David Zwirner gallery.

 Heather Lenz will be doing a Q&A following the 7:45 pm screening of Kusama - Infinity at Film Forum on September 7. 

This segment is guest hosted by Nancy Giles.
