The Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía has recalled its 2011 retrospective of Yayoi Kusama, highlighting the exhibition as a survey that covered a substantial part of the Japanese artist’s career.
The Madrid museum referred to the exhibition in a post published on August 27, 2026. Titled ‘Yayoi Kusama’, the retrospective was organized by the museum in 2011. The brief announcement did not identify a new exhibition, programme or institutional initiative connected to the retrospective.
Kusama’s work has been associated with a sustained presence in contemporary art, and the museum’s message described her legacy as enduring in the history of contemporary art. The post offered no further account of the exhibition’s works, curatorial structure or public response.
The museum also did not provide additional information about the retrospective’s opening and closing dates, the number of works presented, or the locations involved. Its wording establishes only that the exhibition took place in 2011 and addressed a large part of Kusama’s artistic trajectory.
The Reina Sofía’s post functions as a retrospective institutional reminder rather than an announcement of a current event. No present-day exhibition dates or related programming were given.
