Infinity is one of the guiding themes found throughout the works of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Born in rural and secluded Matsumoto, where going beyond the mountains and having a glimpse of the ocean is ‘the dream’, Kusama first envisioned her paintings Infinity Nets while flying over the Pacific Ocean on a journey that eventually led her to the New York City art scene. Kusama–Infinity illuminates the artist’s determined and fearless character that endures cycles of rejections, deceit, and mental turmoil. In her own words, Kusama unveils her pioneering involvements in Pop Art, Fluxus, and immersive installations. She decodes the obsessional and psychosomatic visual language of accumulation, evident in works such as Accumulation No. 1 (1962) and Self-Obliteration (1966–1974).
