Author Spotlight: Yayoi Kusama — The Artist Who Turned Madness Into Infinity
A deep dive on Yayoi Kusama — the Matsumoto girl whose childhood hallucinations of polka dots became the language of a life; the woman who conquered 1960s New York with Infinity Net paintings and anti-war happenings, then retreated to a Tokyo psychiatric hospital to keep creating; her defining reflections on art as survival, the revolution she wanted to build, the visions only she could see, and a small blue earth lost among the stars; and the legacy of the artist who died on 14 August 2026, aged ninety-seven, the best-selling living female artist the world has known.
