Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama (Matsumoto, 1929) is one of the most iconic and influential figures in contemporary art worldwide. Her practice spans over seven decades, ranging from painting to sculpture, performance to installation, and has become a cornerstone in the history of postwar art.

Celebrated for her obsessive visual universe—marked by polka dots, pumpkins, and immersive environments known as Infinity Mirror Rooms—Kusama has masterfully combined pop aesthetics, avant-garde experimentation, and psychological introspection into a unique and instantly recognizable language.

Her work is held in the permanent collections of the world’s leading museums—from the MoMA in New York to the Tate Modern in London—and she is among the most collected and highly valued living artists on the global art market.

With a radical and poetic vision, Kusama continues to expand the boundaries of artistic experience, establishing herself as a true legend of our time.
