TORONTO — It’s not typical to have to book months in advance to get mere seconds with a piece of art at Toronto’s Art Gallery of Ontario. But the much-Instagrammed contemporary art exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors is no typical attraction. Infinity Mirrors was staged in Washington, D.C., in early 2017 and moved on to Seattle and Los Angeles. “(People) are looking at the closest, next destination for the exhibition, and it’s Toronto,” says Vlas. The Instagram following for “Infinity Mirrors” has given Kusama a new kind of fame outside of the art world.
