YAYOI KUSAMA: A Retrospective | Gropius Bau | Berlin Germany

Yayoi Kusama (1929-Present) is a Japanese contemporary avant-garde artist. Her art is characterized by repetition, automatism, and obsession. Kusama is best known for her use of polka dots, pumpkin motifs, and mirrored infinity rooms. She holds the record for the second most expensive living female artist. Yayoi Kusama tells the story of how when she was a little girl she had a hallucination that freaked her out. She was in a field of flowers when they all started talking to her! The heads of flowers were like dots that went on as far as she could see, and she felt as if she was disappearing or as she calls it ‘self-obliterating’ – into this field of endless dots. This weird experience influenced most of her later work. By adding all-over marks and dots to her paintings, drawings, objects and clothes she feels as if she is making them (and herself) melt into, and become part of, the bigger universe. She said:”Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment”. #YayoiKusama #gropiusbau #berlin
