Artist

YAYOI KUSAMA

Operating from Tokyo since her return from New York in 1973, this avant-garde practitioner bridges the gap between 1960s Minimalism and Pop Art. Her auction turnover in 2023 alone exceeded 190 million USD, making her the most financially successful living female artist. She pioneered the use of soft sculpture and immersive installations long before their mainstream adoption in the 21st century.

Pumpkin (Naoshima Pier)

Constructed in 1994 for the Benesse House on Naoshima, this 2-meter tall yellow sculpture became a primary symbol of Japan's art tourism until it was swept away by a typhoon in August 2021 and reconstructed in 2022.
