Follow this artist
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist and writer. Throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of mediums, most of which exhibit her thematic interest in psychadelic colors, repetition and pattern. Kusama came to public attention in the late 1960s, after she organized a series of hippie Body Festivals in which naked participants were painted with brightly colored polka dots. Kusama's work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, Art Brut, pop art, and abstract expressionism, and is infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. in 2008 Christies New York sold a work by her for $5.1 million, a record for a living female artist.
