Yayoi Kusama - the most expensive artist

Yayoi Kusama is an artist from Japan. Born in 1929 in the small town of Matsumoto. Her paintings already during her lifetime cost millions of dollars.

Her work is known for 2 periods - the period of life in the United States and Japan, after oblivion.

She is known for her performances, vibrant exhibitions, paintings, sculptures, toys and books with prose and poetry.

Yayoi has been suffering from hallucinations and obsessive repetitions since childhood. Observed by a psychiatrist. It seems to her that the world is breaking up into circles. It is this disease that makes genius out of her.

Period of life in New York.

Fleeing from an authoritarian mother and on the advice of a psychiatrist, Yayoi moved to New York in 1957.

Young Yayoi is very ambitious, vibrant and eccentric. She knows the value of her talent and constantly arranges performances with the participation of naked bodies. At first, in her work there are only peas, but then phalluses appear. They are funny and cute. So she promotes the equality of men and women.
