Kusama Yayoi Dies at 97

This video of her changed my life:

I realized that art was a way to let my crazy run downhill.

It was just a random Youtube recommendation.

I’ve been subscribed to the Louisiana Channel ever since.

This fall there will be an exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. She stayed for some time in the Netherlands, met with Dutch artists, and organized events with them.

Sad! I really enjoyed going to the Kusama exhibit with my (now) wife years ago, and my daughter had a Kusama phase when she was about 5 years old and dressed up like her with a hot pink wig and polka dot outbit.

English statement from her museum/foundation: https://yayoi-kusama.jp/en/news4518/

Such an awesome figure.
