If you happen to be in Buenos Aires between now and September 16th, please don't miss this Exhibition of Yayoi Kusama's work.  A Japanese artist who began painting in polka dots when she was ten years old, influenced Andy Warhol and has been living in a psychiatric clinic at her own request since 1977.  This Exhibition titled "Infinite Obsession" (Obesesion Infinita) is a retrospective of her work, including installations, paintings, works on paper, videos, sculptures and slide shows.
