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.
