Yayoi Kusama studied painting in Kyoto in the 1940s, first in the traditional Japanese style, then in the so-called »yoga« style, which was influenced by Western painting. In the late 1950s, encouraged by the painter Georgia O'Keeffe, Kusama moved to the United States. She became known primarily in New York, and her reputation quickly reached Europe as well.

In her long career, Kusama has worked in many artistic media besides painting, including collage, sculpture, video, performance, installation, as well as fashion and music. In recent years, her Infinity Mirrored Rooms and other expansive installations have attracted particular attention.
