Marking the first ever #SothebysSealed fine art auction, this is Yayoi Kusama’s ’Phantom Polka Dots of Fate.’ A mesmerizing addition to Kusama's series of standing mirror rooms, the work was crafted in 2021 and integrates LED lights with her iconic polka-dot motif. ’Phantom Polka Dots of Fate’ invites viewers into a pentagonal chamber, where mirrored and transparent sides reflect and reveal three tentacle-like forms illuminated from within. On view alongside our Modern & Contemporary exhibition at #SothebysLondon, bidding opens Tuesday 18 June at no reserve.
