George Clooney, Airbnbs, London galleries, and now the Glass House. Architect Philip Johnson’s former home in New Canaan, Connecticut is latest target of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s polka-dot installation series. For the month of September, “Dots Obsession” is complementing the 1,300 reflective orbs floating in the property’s pond by covering the house itself in a series of dots, which can look five layers deep at times because to the walls’ reflective surfaces. Get a glimpse at nature’s own infinity room, here.
