Yayoi Kusama

Kusama is a Japanese female artist who has been a precursor of the pop art, minimalist and feminist art scene in New York City since the 1970's. She has inspired many male artists such as Andy Warhol! It's shocking to me how Andy Warhol remains so famous and evident in our pop culture, yet the artist who inspired him is barely known. I visited her exhibit in December of 2013 and her work is so interesting. Waiting for hours to see her work for a mere minute was absolutely worth it. She is famously known through her love of polka dots and psychedelic colors, and her exhibit "I, Who Have  Arrived in Heaven" at the David Zwirner Gallery was evident of that. Here are all pictures I took except for the second one!
