YAYOI KUSAMA SIGNS With ZWIRNER IN NYC


Yayoi Kusama has officially signed with David Zwirner in New York, reports Carol Vogel of the New York Times. Kusama left Gagosian Gallery this past November, following the departure of Damien Hirst and the announcement that Jeff Koons, also signed with Gagosian, would be mounting a solo exhibition at David Zwirner in the spring of 2013. Since that point, rumors have circulated that Kusama had joined Zwirner’s stable of artists but the union was not confirmed until today. A solo exhibition of Kusama’s new work is slated for the fall of 2013 at Zwirner’s Nineteenth Street location in Chelsea.
