Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama is a Tokyo-born contemporary artist celebrated for her groundbreaking sculptures, installations, paintings, and performances. A self-taught visionary in many respects, she transforms her inner world into immersive environments filled with polka dots, mirrors, and hypnotic repetitions. From her early “Infinity Nets” to her iconic Infinity Mirror Rooms and pumpkin sculptures, Kusama’s work explores themes of infinity, self-obliteration, and psychological depth. Rising to prominence in 1960s New York, she became a defining figure in Pop, Minimalism, and performance art, influencing artists across generations. Today, her practice continues to captivate global audiences through major museum shows and large-scale installations.

The artist currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan.
