Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam(@StedelijkMuseum):This 1963 work was Yayoi Kusama's first room installation. Kusama found this boat on the streets of New York and then covered it with shapes reminiscent of penises. For a female artist to create a work so explicitly dealing with sexuality in the 1960s was very radical.
