Yayoi Kusama for The Broad
By Abi Crompton
The project
Creating a best-selling collection of Yayoi Kusama keepsakes in collaboration with LA Institution The Broad was a studio highlight, and a project not to be forgotten. The luxury collection was designed to sit alongside one of the most talked about exhibitions of 2017, Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrors. On view on the first floor was Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away, a mirror-lined chamber housing a dazzling and seemingly endless LED light display. This experiential artwork has extremely limited capacity, accommodating one visitor at a time for about a minute - to say this room changed how we view art is an understatement.

The Broad is home to more than 2,000 works of art in the Broad collection, which is among the most prominent holdings of postwar and contemporary art worldwide, and presents an active program of rotating temporary exhibitions and innovative audience engagement. The 120,000-square-foot building features two floors of gallery space and is the headquarters of The Broad Art Foundation’s worldwide lending library, which has actively loaned collection works to museums around the world since 1984. Since opening in September 2015, The Broad has welcomed more than 1.7 million visitors.
