I was lucky to have visited Yayoi Kusama's exhibition at the National Art Center Tokyo, you can read it from my post here.

Yayoi Kusama is an avant-garde artist; born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture year 1929. Since she was young, Yayoi Kusama experienced visual and auditory hallucinations, whereas she began creating net and polka-dot patterns pictures. In 1957, she went to the United States and began making net paintings and soft sculptures, as well as organizing happenings and developing installations that made use of mirrors and lights, establishing herself as an avant-garde artist. Overcoming various obsessions, she discovered an artistic philosophy of self-obliteration via the obsessive repetition and multiplication of single motifs. She has held exhibitions at various museums throughout the world, and in recent years her large-scale retrospective exhibitions at the Tate Modern and Pompidou Centre have elicited considerable responses. She recorded more than 2 million visitors to her tours in Latin America and Asia, which led to her being named the ‘world’s most popular artist in 2014’ by the Art Newspaper. In 2016, she received Japan’s Order of Culture. In 2017, a North American tour of her work started at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.
