"A Message of Love, Directly from My Heart unto the Universe (2022)," by internationally renowned artist Yayoi Kusama, is located in Grand Central Madison, on the Madison Concourse between 46th and 47th streets. Expanding upon Kusama's iconic "My Eternal Soul" series, the new glass mosaic artwork is an exploration of lines and forms, detailed with bold colors. At once abstract and figurative, the artwork highlights a variety of motifs for visitors to discover. They convey the messages of LOVE, UNIVERSE, PEACE, and OWE TO ALL MANKIND, which are central to Kusama's oeuvre. She hopes that the work will bring joy for those who encounter it as they pass through the incredible new space.

Kusama began the "My Eternal Soul" series in 2009. The paintings in the series feature the signature qualities of her "Infinity Net" paintings and echo the obsessive, recurring geometries of her decades-long output. An exploration of form, subject matter, and space, the compositions combine abstract and figurative elements that allude at once to microscopic and macroscopic universes

The permanent artwork, fabricated by Miotto Mosaics, measures 120' wide x 7' high, with approximately 875 square feet of glass mosaic. "A Message of Love, Directly from My Heart unto the Universe" is a heartfelt gift to New York City by the artist.
