Yayoi Kusama Originals // 2000 - 2009

The first decade of the 21st century saw Yayoi Kusama’s original works achieve unprecedented visibility and demand. Expanding on the momentum of the 1990s, she created monumental canvases and vibrant sculptures that pushed her signature motifs into new territory. Pumpkins, polka dots, and Infinity Nets reappeared with intensified colour and scale, while her installations grew ever more immersive, drawing record audiences around the world.

 

This period consolidated Kusama’s reputation as one of the most significant contemporary artists of her generation, laying the groundwork for the extraordinary creative output and international acclaim that would define the following decade.
