Deja Vu Two

Art ho!

How to measure the success of an art exhibition in the eyes of a two year old? Well, Yayoi Kusama's previously mentioned exhibition has given me a pretty good yardstick: when Ada woke up this morning she declared that she wanted to "go to the art gallery to see the room with the water"—the Fireflies piece, which apparently ranks above even the yellow and black polka dot rooms and the "glowing room" in popularity.

And then a request to go see it again after the afternoon nap.

Ada is utterly hooked on the installations, and I like them too; I'm particularly pleased to see some of the ones I like best have been conceived in the last decade, as the sign of an artist who is continuing to be creative over the years. I suspect we'll be going back many more times over the four months the exhibition remains open.
