The world gets a little less spotted: Yayoi Kusama is gone at 97
The queen of polka dots has left the building, and she took her infinite mirrors with her.
Yayoi Kusama female, the woman who made the whole world obsessed with dots, passed away at 97. She didn't just paint circles; she turned hallucinations into an entire aesthetic movement that somehow made New York City in the 60s look even weirder.
She kept painting until the very end, which honestly sounds like the only way to go when you’ve spent a lifetime building Infinity Mirror Rooms. The art world is currently having a collective meltdown of appreciation, which is standard for someone who spent decades proving that if you just draw enough dots, people will eventually call it genius.
The irony of a woman who spent her life obsessed with infinite patterns finally reaching her own finite end is just too rich. Let that sink in.
