Yayoi Kusama Quotations

In my home country, there was a little shop with old books, but it was really in the countryside. You couldn't find English books. I found this very avant-garde American art book that had information about Georgia O'Keeffe. I was very much impressed by her.

Painting bodies with the patterns of Kusama's hallucinations obliterated their individual selves and returned them to the infinite universe.

My mother was against me being an artist. She just wanted me to marry a rich man.

I would like to try harder to establish my thought and philosophy strongly and to go back to the universe with my love.

I want to create a thousand paintings, maybe two thousand paintings, as many as I can draw.

I have been using polka dots since I was a very young child. Only after that, it seems, have they been used throughout the rest of the art world.

Certainly, I devote my energy to both telling my personal life story and seeking self- obliteration. However, I will not destroy myself through art.

The reason I collaborate with Louis Vuitton is that Louis Vuitton is number one in the world, and I am honored to work with them.

I want to become more famous, even more famous.

I believe that eyes are very important motifs. Thats something that can discern the peace and love.
