Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama

Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama | Yayoi Kusama

4 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) is one of the most talked-about artists working today. This remarkable memoir reveals her to be a fascinating figure, channeling her obsessive neurosis into an art that transcends cultural barriers. Kusama describes arriving in New York in 1957 as a poverty-stricken artist and later becoming the doyenne of an alternative art scene. She tells of her relationships with Georgia O'Keeffe, Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, and the reclusive Joseph Cornell. She candidly discusses the obsessive visions that have haunted her throughout her life; returning to Japan in the early 1970s, Kusama admitted herself to the psychiatric hospital in Tokyo where she lives today, and from which she has produced the seemingly endless stream of artworks and writings that have won her acclaim across the globe.

Infinity Net: The Autobiography of Yayoi Kusama | Yayoi Kusama

"Dearest Art Collector, It has come to our attention that your collection, like most, does not contain enough art by women. We know that you feel terrible about this and will rectify the situation immediately. All our love, Guerilla Girls." ? Visited TMA for the 1st time and experienced Kusama's installation "Fireflies on the Water," viewed it 1 at a time for 60 seconds. I am forever changed!

Loved it so much. It‘s great to see Kusama‘s depths (and discover more about her art than just her infinity rooms).
