Combining sophisticated and complex engineering designs with a wide assortment of techniques and materials, Kusama constructs a striking universe of poetic visions.

Essentially self-taught and fiercely determined to be an artist since childhood, Yayoi Kusama arrived in the United States in 1957 at the age of 28. She rapidly established herself among the New York avant-garde and gained international attention during the 1960s with her paintings, sculpture, installations, poems and novels, performances and film. Her powerful presence during this period has been an influence and inspiration for subsequent generations of artists. Tenaciously inventive and obsessive, Yayoi Kusama continues to create artworks wrested from her stream of consciousness. She maintains a studio in Tokyo.
Yayoi Kusama has exhibited in hundreds of galleries and museums around the world during her extraordinary career. Her works are included in private, public and museum collections worldwide. An important retrospective of works from the last 20 years will open at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach in early December.
