Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese avant-garde artist widely recognized worldwide, a painter, sculptor, performer, and novelist. From a young age, she developed an obsessive fascination with polka dots, nets, and repetitive motifs, which became the signature of her artistic universe. She develops these hypnotic forms across paintings, sculptures and installations, notably her famous pumpkins, flowers and immersive Infinity Rooms.
A major figure in contemporary art, Kusama belongs to a generation of artists who profoundly renewed visual culture, alongside Andy Warhol and Pop Art, with Keith Haring and his instantly recognizable graphic language, or Ai Weiwei, whose work blends contemporary art and monumental installations. Her approach to color, repetition and object can also evoke Takashi Murakami, Jeff Koons, Niki de Saint Phalle or Louise Bourgeois. Thanks to her unique and instantly identifiable aesthetics, Yayoi Kusama is today one of the most emblematic Japanese and contemporary artists on the international scene.
