Yayoi Kusama is one of the most celebrated artists of our time.

Known for her signature motifs including the polka-dot and pumpkin, Kusama’s extraordinary artistic endeavours have spanned painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, performance, film, printmaking, installation and environmental art as well as literature, fashion (most notably in her 2012 and 2023 collaboration with Louis Vuitton) and product design.
