The last time we posted on an artist putting a mural on a key Wellington building was Victor Berezovsky’s efforts at the Fryberg Pool. Now the City Gallery is following in his footsteps with Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. This time the mural is not painted but uses stick-on computer cut decals, presumably to the artist’s design. The minimalist Hotere/Culbert window work Fault will obviously have to be blacked out while the building is in its spotty glory. It needs refurbishing anyway so the gallery so maybe the gallery will take the opportunity to do just that.
