Yayoi Kusama 涯。在1957年她辗转纽约生活，并通过展示绘画、装置和表演获得了全球性的声誉。于1973年回到日本，
5年后自愿住进东京一间精神疗养中心，一住至今，每天仍固定通勤到工作室作画。草间弥生的创作被评论
97
家归类到相当多的艺术派别，包含了女权主义、极简主义、超现实主义、原生艺术、普普艺术和抽象表现
主义等。在草间对自己的描述中，她仅是一位“精神病艺术家”(obsessiveartist)。草间弥生这种自传式的、
深入心理的无法定义的艺术，使她成为当今世界上最著名的当代女性艺术家。近年来，世界各大顶级美术
馆如巴黎的蓬皮杜艺术中心、伦敦的泰特现代美术馆和纽约的惠特尼博物馆等，相继为草间弥生举办个人
回顾展，令这位“波点女王”的艺术符号享誉世界。

Yayoi Kusama, born in Japan’s Nagano Prefecture in 1929, entered a Kyoto art and design
college in 1947. She held her first solo exhibition in 1952, starting her career as an artist. In
1957, she came to New York, where she achieved global fame for her groundbreaking paintings,
installation art, and performance art. After that, she returned to her native country in 1973.
Five years later, Kusama voluntarily admitted herself to a mental health center, where she has
spent the rest of her life. However, she still communes from the health center to her studio
for painting practice every day. In the eyes of art critics, Kusama is a precursor of various
genres of art, including the feminist art, minimalism, surrealism, l’art brut, the pop art, and
abstract expressionism. But, Kusama calls herself an “obsessive artist.” Her autobiographical,
indefinable art is soul-stirring and has established her reputation as the world’s most
prominent female artist. In recent years, Kusama’s retrospective exhibitions were consecutively
held in many top-notch galleries and art museums such as Pompidou Center, Tate Modern,
and the Whitney Museum of American Art, which spread the art of Kusama, nicknamed the
“polka dot queen,” around the world.
