Yayoi Kusama’s “Grand Orgy to Awaken the Dead at MoMA (Otherwise Known as the Museum of Modern Art)” took place on August 24, 1969 and made the front page of the Daily News the following day.
Kusama publicized the event, saying, “At the museum you can take your clothes off in good company: RENOIR, MAILLOL, GIACOMETTI, PICASSO.”
