The long-lost mural at East 10th Street and Prospect Avenue was refurbished as part of this summer’s FRONT Triennial for Contemporary Art. Watching a paint crew finishing up the restoration, Stanczak’s wife Barbara recalled its origins.

She went on to learn about Yayoi Kusama in her sculpture class. Feeling inspired by the artist, Lenz’s interest grew into a passion to share Kusama’s story with broader audiences.
