Yayoi Kusama’s latest public sculpture has just landed outside London’s bustling Liverpool Street station in London. The piece, titled ‘Infinite Accumulation,’ is a swirling mass of metallic orbs on twisting wires—a new spin on her iconic polka dot theme.

“London is a city of constant movement and diverse cultures,” Kusama said to Artnet, describing her inspiration. “The spheres represent individual personalities, while the curving lines suggest an underlying social fabric.”

The sculpture, which stands 33 feet tall and spans 40 feet wide, now marks the eastern entrance to the Elizabeth Line, a recently opened section of the Tube. This work is part of a series of public art installations commissioned to celebrate the new line, alongside pieces by Chantal Joffe and Douglas Gordon. Commissioned by the Crossrail Art Foundation and backed by Kusama’s London gallery, Victoria Miro.

“Liverpool Street commuters and visitors are in for something special,” said Justine Simons, deputy mayor for culture and the creative industries in a statement. “Art plays a crucial role in London, transforming spaces and connecting communities.”
