The exhibitions celebrate her 80th birthday and anticipates this forthcoming documentary Kusama: Princess of Polka Dots. The bi-coastal exhibitions feature several new works including Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity (2009). The Gagosian Gallery describes it as

"...a mesmerizing "infinity room" that operates on a system of simple yet ingenious optical devices. In a dark void, a delicate, shimmering mirage unfolds around the viewer, a myriad of gleaming lights that reproduce and reflect endlessly upon each other in golden silence."
