Yayoi Kusama (草間 彌生 or 弥生 Kusama Yayoi?, born March 22, 1929) is aJapanese artist and writer. Throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of media, including painting, collage, scat sculpture, performance art, and environmental installations, most of which exhibit her thematic interest inpsychedelic colors, repetition and pattern. A precursor of the pop art,minimalist and feminist art movements, Kusama influenced contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg.[1] Kusama is now acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde. Kusama is also a published novelist and poet, and has created notable work in film and fashion design. Major retrospectives of her work have been held at theMuseum of Modern Art in 1998, the Whitney Museum in 2012, and Tate Modern in 2012.[2][3][4] In 2006, she received a Women's Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award.[5] In 2008, Christie's New York sold a work by her for $5.1 million, then a record for a living female artist.[6] In 2015 Artsy named her one of the Top 10 Living Artists of 2015.[7]
