Her work spans painting, sculpture, performance, and installation, exploring themes of psychology, feminism, obsession, and infinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKusama began experiencing vivid hallucinations as early as ten years old incl. flashing lights, fields of dots, and flowers that would speak to her. Patterns in fabric would come alive and engulf her, a process she calls \"self-obliteration.\" Rather than suppress these visions, she poured them into her art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWhen Kusama arrived in America in 1958, she promised herself she would \"conquer New York City.\" She did. But the art world didn't always return the favor. Andy Warhol visited her 1963 show and praised it enthusiastically, then went on to cover gallery walls with repeating images himself, culminating in his famous 1966 \"Cow Wallpaper.\" She also staged provocative \"happenings\" public performances where participants protested the Vietnam War naked and covered in polka dots. She even crashed the 1966 Venice Biennale without an invitation, staging her own guerrilla exhibition outside the official gates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eKusama returned to Japan in 1973 and voluntarily checked herself into a psychiatric hospital in Tokyo, where she still lives today by choice, working from a studio just steps away. Now 96, she is the world's top-selling female artist and the most-visited living artist by museum attendance. Her dots were never just decoration. They were, and remain, a way of staying alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FORM Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47579284570290,"sku":null,"price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/0956\/6386\/files\/yayoi_9c3b26d7-9910-47a6-91f6-acc4170387de.png?v=1781734783","url":"https:\/\/formvintageshop.com\/products\/2015-yayoi-kusama-danish-art-exhibition-print","provider":"FORM Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
