A photo of the wonderfully surreal 15m high fibreglass statue of artist Yayoi Kusama painting her trademark polka dots on the outside of Harrods. This shot gives a better indication of the gigantic scale, and makes you wonder what they'll do with it when they take it down.....
This was the most visible part of the Louis Vuitton / Yayoi Kusama collaboration but the takeover included the shop windows and several pop-up stores and installations throughout the store.

From the Harrods website, "The nonagenarian Japanese artist is famous for her immersive works originating from personal obsessions and hallucinations, channelled into otherworldly sculptures, paintings and public art. “At Harrods, we’re bringing Yayoi Kusama to life, placing a 15m sculpture of the artist outside our entrance, where she is seen to be painting her colourful dots across the magnificent façade of our Grade II-listed building,” says Alexander Wells-Greco, creative visual director at Harrods. “‘Crafting Infinity’ also includes playful installations inside the store, spheres of all-surrounding colour and instantly immersive mirrored walls to mesmerise our customers.” Meanwhile, dedicated pop-up spaces host the accompanying collection that was first teased at Louis Vuitton’s Cruise 2023 show, featuring not only bags and leather goods, but the entire gamut of product categories and savoir-faire. From complex embroidery and leather marquetry to limited-edition perfumes, all are Kusama-fied with the artist’s signature flowers, pumpkins and dot art."
