Yayoi Kusama’s biog taken from www.victoria-miro.com:

1929 born Matsumoto City, Japan, lives and works in Japan.

Most of Yayoi Kusama’s oeuvre can be traced back to early hallucinations she first had in her childhood of multiplying dots and nets which gradually spread to dominate her universe. These visions developed into obsessive neuroses which fuelled her paintings, sculptures and performances, reflecting her self-described obsession with nets, dots, food and sex. In a career spanning more than fifty years, Yayoi Kusama is known not only as an artist but also as a novelist, underground filmmaker and fashion designer.
