Fwd: pOlka dOts or photo with a story?

Dear BiTwin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends

I did wonder at the beginning when my twin came out with the theme pOlka dOts, whether she had a little secret admiration for artist Yayoi (a bit of a tongue twister IMHO :-)) Kusama and this was her way of paying tribute to the artist by making us look for polka dots..
I soon found out that some of the polka dots entries submitted by HL and BiTi were products of Louis Vuitton's collaboration with artist Kusama. Coincidence or conspiration? :-):-):-)
Any way, as a true coincidence, last night when we drove past the Whitney Museum on Madison Avenue, I noticed gigantic red beach balls with white polka dots, inside the museum near its entrance. So I took my chance and asked my son Chuong whether it would be a big problem to make a little stop. He then asked me why, so I told him about the balls and our pOlka dOts theme.
To my surprise, he very nicely replied that we could stop for my photos, but it would become a problem with the traffic cop if I took too long. So I crossed my heart and promised it would not take me more than a few minutes, forgetting that it was a promise impossible to keep :-):-), jumped off the car quickly so he would not have time to change his mind, and ran to the museum entrance only to find out that it was already closed for the day. However, through the glass walls, I was able to take pictures of the balls which were hanging from the ceiling like planets in a galaxy .
Curious about the balls, I googled the Whitney current exhibitions, and Kusama's name came up. The exhibition is supported by...surprise...Louis Vuitton. I also learned that the Whitney has a special exhibition by Kusama called Fireflies on the Water where visitors could only enter one at a time so they would fully experience the sensation.
Here are some links in case you want to know more about Kusama, her work and the special exhibition.
Goodnight
