It takes a lot of bravery to risk being seen as weird or eccentric. RIP, beautiful 🙏
The art world has lost a legend today 🕊️
Yayoi Kusama has passed away at 97, leaving behind a career unlike almost anyone else’s.
Her polka dots, pumpkins, mirrored rooms, and endless patterns became instantly recognizable around the world, but behind that bright imagery was an artist who spent much of her life transforming deeply personal visions into something millions could walk into, photograph, and experience for themselves.
She remained devoted to creating until her final days.
Some of her most celebrated works include:
• Infinity Mirror Room — Phalli’s Field
• Infinity Nets
• Narcissus Garden
• Accumulation No. 1
• Infinity Mirrored Room — The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away
• All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins
• Pumpkin
• The Obliteration Room
Kusama began exploring dots and repeating patterns as a young artist and ultimately turned those motifs into a visual language recognized far beyond galleries and museums.
She spent a lifetime exploring infinity.
Now her work gets to continue without an ending.
Rest in peace, Yayoi Kusama. 🕊️❤️
