The highly anticipated exhibition 'Love You For Infinity' featuring three renowned artists Niki de Saint Phalle, Yayoi Kusama, and Takashi Murakami has drawn massive crowds to the Sprengel Museum in Hannover. On its opening night alone, 1,500 visitors attended the exhibition, with an estimated 3,500 people expected to visit over the first weekend. The show presents a unique artistic dialogue between the three international art stars, showcasing their vibrant and thought-provoking works in a well-organized display.
The exhibition has generated nationwide interest, with advance ticket sales performing exceptionally well. Online bookings have already extended throughout the entire exhibition duration, demonstrating the remarkable appeal of this artistic collaboration. Mayor Belit Onay from the Green Party praised the exhibition as opening "a new chapter in the cultural history of the city," emphasizing that Hannover can now present "world-class art."
The opening night atmosphere differed significantly from typical Sprengel Museum events, featuring an outdoor bar and DJ with stunning views of the sunset over Maschsee lake. One of the exhibition's most talked-about features - the mirrored floor in the final room - did not create the anticipated concerns during the opening. Museum staff had thoughtfully prepared blankets for visitors to extend skirts if needed, though no one utilized this service during the evening.
The exhibition's centerpiece, Kusama's Infinity Room, drew particularly large crowds with visitors being quickly ushered through during the opening night. Under normal operations, up to six people can experience the installation simultaneously for 90 seconds. Bags are prohibited inside the room, and protective shoe covers are mandatory for all visitors.
The exhibition also celebrates the generous donation of Niki de Saint Phalle's works to the city of Hannover. The most moving moment of the opening ceremony came when Niki's granddaughter, Bloum Cardenas, who had participated in events a quarter-century ago, expressed her gratitude. She praised the exhibition for creating an atmosphere "as if Niki were still here among us."
Media attention for the exhibition extends far beyond Germany, with national newspapers and television stations planning coverage. The Dutch newspaper Volkskrant has scheduled a four-page exhibition report, highlighting the international significance of this artistic collaboration.
The 'Love You For Infinity' exhibition runs daily except Mondays until February 14, 2026. Opening hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on other days. Admission costs 14 euros for adults and 10 euros for reduced tickets.
