WHAT?  Infinite Accumulation: Yayoi Kusama 2024

WHERE?  Liverpool Street Station, London EC2M 7PY

WHEN? Now and indefinitely.  Free to view 

WHY GO? For dynamic street art.  Is there anything this ninety-five year old Japanese artist can still do to captivate us with her obsession for spots, dots and circular shapes in general?

Yes!  Kusama has won us over again with a truly sensational public art installation.

We recently saw her art in the park, a ginormous dotty pumpkin in harmony with the natural habitat of Kensington Gardens and now we have her art in the city, in harmony with skyscrapers and gleaming tower blocks. 

Her new shiny sculpture Infinite Accumulation winds up around and over the chaos of London’s busy Liverpool Street station as it leads into the sleek Elizabeth Line while stopping pedestrians in their tracks. It begs to be admired. 

The monumental site specific sculpture of gleaming silver spheres covering 100 metres in length complements the surrounding architecture and mirrors passing pedestrians creating an exciting futuristic urban arena.

Commissioned as part of The Crossrail Art Foundation’s art programme, it’s Kusama’s first permanent public artwork in the UK and one of the largest collaborative projects.

It has to be seen to be believed and is an Instagrammer’s dream.

IN THE KNOW  Love street art? Check out an earlier 2023 sculpture nearby, also part of the Crossrail Art programme, leading again into the Elizabeth Line via the Moorgate entrance. 

Designed by Conrad Shawcross, the Manifold is a twisty spiralling bronze dome inspired by a Victorian pendulum-driven drawing machine, but to the layman's eye, it resemble a giant tornado.
