“Eternal unlimited universe, love for humanity, and longing for peace in the world,” Yayoi Kusama told us. As we mourn her passing, we recognize that her generous spirit will live on forever for many more millions who will continue to experience her work, at The Broad, and globally.

Stepping into Infinity Mirrored Room—The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away (2013) is a transformative experience: inside the mirror-lined chamber is a duality between a sense of boundlessness and a grounding in oneself. Here visitors have found deep connection—smiles, tears, even proposals of marriage.

Kusama embraced her popularity as fully compatible with the integrity of her vision. From our presentation of the 2017 show Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors, which broke our ticketing system as it sold out in hours, to visitors’ enduring passion for her infinity mirror rooms on view since 2015, her work is both wildly beloved and conceptually challenging. We will keep working to ensure that her art is experienced and understood as she intended—by everyone, infinitely.

The two mirror rooms in our collection are on view now, free with general admission; each welcomes a few visitors at a time, so we thank you for your patience as we remember her life and work together.

When does documenting your art become the art itself? Alex Israel’s Self-Portrait (Selfie and Studio Floor) (2014) examines the intertwining relationship between artistic process and self-presentation.

The artwork takes the shape of Israel’s own silhouette. Within it, we see the artist taking a selfie in his studio, wearing sunglasses from his own eyewear line. Like the layers of the artwork itself, the closer you look for a clear line between the authentic self and the constructed one, the harder it becomes to find. Israel critiques self-branding while also participating in it. As we gain more agency over stylizing our public image, how does the awareness of being perceived interfere with creative freedom?

See this work in person at The Broad with free general admission. Tickets at the link in bio 🎟️

Video Description: A young woman with light skin and long brown hair wears a black t-shirt and long black skirt with a red Broad lanyard. Holding a small microphone, she walks through The Broad’s galleries speaking to camera, stopping in front of certain artworks like Jean-Michel Basquiat’s text-covered paintings, Andy Warhol’s repeated-portrait grid and Campbell’s Soup cans, Roy Lichtenstein’s tall brushstroke sculpture, and oversized paintings covered in colorful dots and drips. She ends outside in front of The Broad’s white honeycomb facade.

“This exhibition spans decades of collection artists asking questions about injustices that persist in American life and offers a glimpse of how the collection is evolving.” — Joanne Heyler, Founding Director and President of The Broad

This fall, The Broad opens its next free exhibition, Has the myth been shattered. Drawn entirely from The Broad’s collection, the group show brings together era-spanning pieces from 14 contemporary artists to examine how mass media has shaped history and our memory of major events.

As Michael Juliano (Michael Juliano) reports for Time Out Los Angeles (Time Out Los Angeles), the show takes its title from Guadalupe Rosales’s (Guadalupe Rosales) Has the myth been shattered (2024), a recent acquisition to the Broad collection. The work is a full-length two-way mirror that catches your reflection alongside the front page of the Los Angeles Times from the days after the 1992 Los Angeles Uprising, when the paper questioned whether the unrest would force a reckoning with inequities the city had long ignored.

It joins works like Hank Willis Thomas’s (ᕼᗩᑎK) Black Survival Guide, or How to Live Through a Police Riot (2018), a 1968 pamphlet on vinyl that reveals hidden images under a camera flash, and Mickalene Thomas’s (Mickalene Thomas) The Charnel House (Resist #5) (2021), which fills an unfinished Picasso with civil rights and Black Lives Matter imagery.

“These artists are not simply reflecting the world as it is. They’re architects of better futures, carving out space for the public to consider the possibilities within and against the systems they examine,” says exhibition curator Jen Vanegas Rocha.

On view November 21, 2026 through April 4, 2027. General admission is free, and reservations open later this fall.

Special thanks to East West Bank (East West Bank), The Broad’s Exclusive Grand Opening Sponsor and Leading Partner since 2017.
