A Quick Visit to the ICA - Goodbye to Yayoi Kusama's "Love is Calling"

Three years ago I went to see Yayoi Kusama's "Love is Calling" installation at the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) here in Boston.

At the time, I was pregnant with my son.  And this past weekend, we stopped by the ICA to say goodbye to the exhibit (its time in Boston is over).  It was my son's first Yayoi Kusama experience (but hopefully not his last).

I've been lucky enough to experience a few other Yayoi Kusama installations in the past.

It's always fun to be surrounded by color and pattern!

While we were at the ICA, we peeked at the rest of the artwork. Alas, given an active three-year-old's attention span, the days of poring over the art, reading every wall sign, and taking tons of photos at museums are gone.  But I did get a few for you:

I loved the sculptures by Rose B. Simpson.  You can watch this chat with her:

If you get a chance to visit the ICA, one of the nicest things about it, is that it's on the waterfront and the views are lovely!

My son was definitely more interested in the water than the artwork in the museum!
