Notes: Kusama once declared “My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots”. She has created a universe made of psychedelic compositions inspired by her own hallucinations, and recognizable at first sight. She has been exhibited internationally for 50 years, alongside Andy Warhol, Yves Klein and Jasper Johns. After the great success of Kusama’s retrospective exhibition in 2011 at the Pompidou Centre, Louis Vuitton paid tribute to her work by creating an entire collection based on her dot motifs.

The Artist

Yayoi Kusama

Avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama works in many different mediums, including sculpture, painting, performance, books, poems and installation. Her impact can be seen in a wide range of creative movements, including minimalism, pop art, feminist and environment art, and she is viewed as one of Japan’s most influential living artists. Although she trained at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts in the traditional Japanese painting style of Nihonga in 1948, she quickly turned her back on these established artistic conventions and developed her own unique abstract, conceptual style. The major motif in her work is polka dots. Suffering hallucinations since she was a child, the polka dots are a representation of this experience and, for Kusama, the sign of infinity.
