She Beat Warhol to Pop Art’s Biggest Ideas. The Art World Wrote Her Out Anyway

The article features an interview with Alexandra Munroe, senior curator at large for global arts at the Guggenheim Museum, discussing Yayoi Kusama's inclusion in the new exhibition "Guggenheim Pop: 1960 to Now." Munroe explains that Kusama, now 97, anticipated many art movements including pop art but was historically excluded from the pop art canon despite showing with Andy Warhol as early as 1962 and garnering more press than him in 1968. The exhibition features Kusama's "INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM – DANCING LIGHTS THAT FLEW UP TO THE UNIVERSE (2019)" and one of her "Infinity Net" paintings.
