Biography
Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama dazzles audiences worldwide with her immersive 'Infinity Mirror Rooms' and an aesthetic that embraces light, polka dots, and pumpkins.

 

The avant-garde artist first rose to prominence in 1960s New York, where she staged provocative Happenings and exhibited hallucinatory paintings of loops and dots that she called 'Infinity Nets.' Kusama also influenced Andy Warhol and augured the rise of feminist and Pop art.

 

She has been the subject of major exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou, Tate Modern, and the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. In 1993, Kusama represented Japan at the Venice Biennale. 

 

Throughout her disparate practice, Kusama has continued to explore her own obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexuality, freedom, and perception.
