Yayoi Kusama uses her art to fight for love and peace. The legendary Japanese artist, famous for her repetitions of polka-dotted patterns, was a fixture of the New York avant-garde scene during the 1960s, influencing contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol.
Kusama works in a broad variety of media, and her works contribute to the collections of leading museums such as MoMA, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and so on.
We met Kusama in her studio in Tokyo in June 2015. The full interview ‘Let’s Fight Together’ is available here: https://channel.louisiana.dk/video/yayoi-kusama-lets-fight-together
