The Artist
A universe built from dots and mirrors.
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, installation, performance, fiction and poetry. Born in Matsumoto, Nagano in 1929, she overcame a difficult early life marked by hallucinations and obsessive visions — experiences she transformed into art, famously describing her practice as “art medicine.”
She moved to New York in 1957, where she became a pioneer of the avant-garde — creating the Infinity Net paintings, softly sculpted Accumulations and radical happenings that challenged gender, authority and the art world itself. Her influence on Minimalism and Pop Art was profound, though often overlooked until decades later.
