Philip Johnson Glass House with Dots Obsession.

Marking the occasion of what would have been the architect’s 110th birthday this past July. Kusama has bedecked the entire exterior of the house with an arrangement of her signature red dots.

Dots Obsession is Alive, Seeking for Eternal Hope, an installation. Which open on September 1, will be on view only through September 26th. Completing a trio of site-specific Kusama works on the property, dating back to the spring.

The installation of Yayoi Kusama’s Dots Obsession was a long-distance affair. With the elderly artist dispatching a team from Japan to complete the project. Armed with vinyl red dots in 3 sizes, and exacting instructions from her for each dot’s placement.

Applied piece by piece via scaffolding, the dots adorn the four glass sides of the house. Including its doors, turning Philip Johnsons Glass House into, appropriately enough, a gaily wrapped modernist gift.

Yayoi Kusama has decorated everything, from department store windows to clothing to George Clooney, with her dot compositions. But few of her canvases (Clooney include) have as famous-for as long-as Johnson’s iconic Glass House, completed in 1949.

And, one can argue, few are more suite to her work. The glass house’s pure geometry and near-total transparency. Offers a markedly different kind of immersive experience from the artist’s ethereal “infinity room” gallery installations. Allowing visitors to, according to the Glass House committee. “Simultaneously see the world through the eyes of both Philip Johnson and Yayoi Kusama,”

Arranged in a very specific pattern, three different sizes of vinyl dots cover the exterior of Philip Johnson’s Glass House.

Yayoi Kusama’s Dots Obsession installation on the Glass House lasts only through September 26th.

Of her most famous motif, she has said. ‘A polka-dot has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world. And our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm.

Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing. Polka-dots become movement … Polka dots are a way to infinity.’
