This mirror ball in transparant plastic bag was shown in “Een goed in de weg staande tafel” curated by Jack Jaeger in Galerie van Gelder in 2001. A catalogue was issued.
In spite of its description being an edition of 1500 this multiple as shown above is difficult to find. It is known that the original version of plastic balls shown in the Venice Biennale in 1966 was produced in an edition of 1500, but one may wonder what has happened with the other 1499 copies. This apparently smaller plastic version is put in a plastic mini bag with tag saying: YAYOI KUSAMA One of the 1500 mirror balls of Narcissus Garden 1966-1999.
At least one version of the yellow tag circulates, printed with another date i.e. ‘1966 – 2001’. Also the ribbon has been replaced by a chain. So the tag of the above ball was produced in 1999, the one pictured below in 2001. KvG
Example of a tag with chain instead of ribbon, with slightly aged plastic bag. This tag is of a later date, namely 1966-2001.

In 1998 Thora Johansen, director of the Bifrons Foundation in Amsterdam, invited Henk Peeters to make a film for her Flash project that found its premiere with nine DVD’s in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1999. Peeters very soon came up with an idea of having a rain of white feathers coming down on a glass plate until this was completely covered with a layer of down. It was filmed in colour with a blue background, added with music of invited composer and guitarist Eric Calmes. For the second request to make also a very short film of one minute Henk Peeters decided to have the film in negative run backwards within the given sixty seconds.

‘Paper Suit’, brown version
In 1966 James Rosenquist was ‘The Man in the Paper Suit‘, due to the fact that the artist wore a brown suit made of paper by fashion designer Horst to various exhibitions and gallery openings. His idea to wear such a suit design harks back to the brief 1960s fashion for paper dresses like the Warhol dress with Campbell Soup prints.
