RALEIGH, N.C.—The North Carolina Museum of Art has acquired a major work of contemporary art, Light of Life, by one of the most acclaimed contemporary artists in the world, Japanese artist
Yayoi Kusama. “This acquisition
epitomizes Kusama’s
brilliance and the impact
of her pioneering work as
one of the most
influential artists working
today, and it is a privilege
to be the first institution
in the Southeast to
acquire one of her most
important new works,”
Wheeler said. “Peering
into the ‘infinity room’ is
almost a spiritual
experience,” says
Wheeler, who has been a
champion of
contemporary art during
his tenure at the NCMA.
“Light of Life laces
together lights, movement, and perspective for an exclusive experience that’s unique to every visitor. You become part of the artwork and share that experience with the other viewers who are there with you.” [
