"The dots are eating me. They are consuming my soul."
About Yayoi Kusama (born 1929)
Japanese contemporary artist whose Infinity Mirror Rooms and polka-dot installations have made her among the highest-grossing living artists, working from the Tokyo psychiatric hospital where she has lived voluntarily since 1977. Closely associated with Donald Judd (early NYC champion of her work) and Andy Warhol (1960s NYC contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see the 1960s New York Pop establishment, the male-dominated, gallery-political art world that excluded her — Kusama claims Warhol's Cow Wallpaper and Oldenburg's soft sculptures borrowed her ideas without credit. Her 1960s erasure from the canon — and later prominence as the highest-grossing living woman artist — is one of art history's most-cited cases of gendered authorship dispute.
