YAYOI KUSAMA
10 October, 2011 - 9 January, 2012
The Centre Pompidou is presenting the first French retrospective dedicated to the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama: chronologically following her career through 150 works created between 1949 and 2001, the exhibition tracks the major moments in the life of the artist and illustrates the protean character (paintings, sculptures, environments, performances) of a collection of works which Kusama has herself described as "obsessional". Strongly rooted in a childhood memory, a hallucination from which she developed the polka dot motif, this unclassified work still has significant influence on the cotemporary scene.
