Yayoi Kusama – Into Infinity Dots, pumpkins, endless nets and
mirrored rooms: Yayoi Kusama created one of the most recognisable
artistic universes of our time. In this first English episode of
artaffairs, we follow Kusama from her childhood in Japan and her
early hallucinations to the New York avant-garde of the 1960s, her
encounters with artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, Andy Warhol and
Claes Oldenburg, and the immersive Infinity Rooms that made her a
global phenomenon. The occasion is Kusama’s major retrospective at
the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam – the final stop of the exhibition’s
European journey. But this episode has also become a farewell.
Yayoi Kusama died in Tokyo on August 14, 2026, at the age of 97. A
story about art as survival, the dissolution of the self, and an
artist who spent her life trying to make infinity visible. Love
Forever.
