You’ve likely seen her yellow spotted pumpkins or maybe stood in line to enter one of her “Infinity Rooms” at a gallery or museum exhibit. In fact, at age 89, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama now has a bigger following than she’s ever had in her lifetime and she’s the top-selling female artist in the world. So have you ever heard of Kusama or know anything about her?
If not, you’re in for a real treat as you enter her fantastical world. First, there is a new documentary just out, entitled, Kusama-Infinity. To hear more about this brilliant and mercurial artist, and the new documentary, listen to an interview with the film’s director, Heather Lenz, here. And for a brief video explaining the essentials of Kusama’s work and why she’s such an influential figure, take a seat and watch here. You’ll be dazzled by her images and likely never look at a polka dot the same way again!
