Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist known for her innovative and avant-garde work in various mediums such as painting, sculpture, installation, performance art, and fashion. She was born on March 22, 1929, in Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan.
Kusama's work often explores themes of infinity, repetition, pattern, and color, and is characterized by her use of polka dots and nets. She has been associated with various art movements, including minimalism, pop art, and feminist art.
Kusama moved to New York City in the late 1950s, where she quickly became part of the avant-garde art scene. Her work gained attention in the 1960s, when she organized a series of provocative and often controversial happenings, including "Body Festivals," where participants painted each other's bodies with polka dots.
In recent years, Kusama's work has become increasingly popular, and she has been the subject of major exhibitions at museums around the world. She continues to produce work from her studio in Tokyo, which is decorated with her signature polka dots.
