YAYOI KUSAMA (B. 1929)

“The subjects are mostly concrete things and can be quite diverse. From familiar objects like pumpkins and high-heeled shoes to cakes, dresses, Mount Fuji, ashtrays, and so on. In these works, we don’t feel any obsessive anxiety; instead, one can feel Yayoi Kusama's interest in the objects themselves and her boundless love for them, which is quite intriguing.” - Yukiko Takase
