NGV Magazine - November/December 2024 issue 49

In this final edition of NGV Magazine for 2024, we introduce the exhibition Yayoi Kusama with a series of essays celebrating the Japanese artist’s early career and work in her homeland and in the United States of America. Also in this issue, we highlight a new work to join the Collection by fellow Japanese artist Morita Shiryū, the post war modernist furniture designs by Maria Pergay and works by celebrated couturiers Martin Margiela, Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano. Ahead of new displays at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, we discover the legacy of Australian artist Robert Klippel and interview Natalya Hughes, this year’s featured artists in the annual MECCA x NGV Holiday Collaboration.
