Yayoi Kusama: Our Artists
Yayoi Kusama: Text

YAYOI KUSAMA
(1929)

The most popular living artist for museum attendance and the world’s top-selling living female artist in the last decade, Yayoi Kusama is widely recognized as one of the most influential living artists.
Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama relocated to the United States in 1957; in New York she befriended and influenced artists such as Donald Judd, Joseph Cornell, and Andy Warhol, and caught the attention of a wide audience with her happenings, often displaying nudity and praising pacifism and hippie counterculture
She returned to Japan in 1973, due to her poor health conditions, and eventually took her permanent residence in a hospital for the mentally ill, where she lives since 1977.
In her prolific career that spanned over 7 decades, she produced installations, sculptures and paintings. Accumulations, self-obliteration, polka dots, infinity nets, love forever, pumpkins are some of the themes recurrently appearing in her monumental production
