The world bids farewell to Yayoi Kusama, one of the most internationally recognized Japanese artists. The artist passed away, leaving behind a unique and unmistakable artistic legacy.
Since childhood, Kusama saw the world covered in dots and patterns, a characteristic that marked her entire work over the decades. These childhood visions became her distinctive artistic signature.
The artist said she wanted to create works capable of "shining" after her death, a desire that reflects the intensity and persistence of her creative work. Her death represents the loss of an essential figure in Japanese and world contemporary art.
