About Kusama
- Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama's life is a poignant testament to the healing power of art as well as a study in human
resilience. Plagued by mental illness as a child, and thoroughly abused by a callous mother, the
young artist persevered by using her hallucinations and personal obsessions as fodder for prolific
artistic output in various disciplines. This has informed a lifelong commitment to creativity at all
costs despite the artist's birth into a traditional, female-effacing Japanese culture and her career's
coming of age in the male dominated New York art scene. Today, Kusama reigns as one of the
most unique and famous contemporary female artists, operating from her self-imposed home in a
mental hospital.
