KUSAMA Yayoi

KUSAMA Yayoi is one of the most important and influential Asian artists in the history of contemporary art. She is renowned for her prolific and ground-breaking practice, spanning paintings, sculptures, performances, moving images, and large-scale installations. Trained in traditional Japanese painting, she moved to the United States in 1957 and soon established herself in the American and European avant-garde for her unique and radical artistic language. She returned to Japan in 1973 and has relentlessly reinvented and created art that resonates with the time in which she lives. KUSAMA Yayoi emerged as a global cultural icon for the twenty-first century by pursuing her uncompromising avant-garde vision. Over the past seven decades, she honed a singular personal aesthetic and core philosophy of life. KUSAMA’s work captivates millions by offering glimpses of boundless space and reflections on natural cycles of regeneration. It is worth mentioning that the upcoming exhibition, "KUSAMA Yayoi 1951-2005 from W Collection and More," to be held at the TFAM this December, will be the largest solo exhibition in Taiwan in recent years. Through this year's Art Taipei, we hope to provide everyone with an early glimpse of KUSAMA's remarkable works.
