Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist who was a self-described “obsessional artist,” known for her extensive use of polka dots. She was born on March 22, 1929, in Matsumoto, Japan. She employed painting, sculpture, performance art, and installations in a variety of styles, including Pop art and Minimalism. She studied at the Kyoto City Specialist School of Arts between 1948 and 1949. She then moved to New York. Kusama’s artworks are all polka dots in different shapes. One of her famous pieces is the polka dots pumpkin. Kusama also has a cross over with Louis Vuitton in 2012, which made her become well known than before.
