Yayoi Kusama is the reigning queen of reinvention—from her early paintings to her accumulative sculptures, from her provocative performances to her endlessly Instagrammed Infinity Mirror Rooms. Over the course of her radical, seven-decade career, the Japanese artist has immersed herself and her audience in her polka-dot punctuated world, plumbing the depths of her imagination and pushing at the boundaries of formal innovation along the way. Here she is posing among one of her striking installations for her solo show at the Orez Gallery in the Netherlands in 1965.
