* A exhibition ' A Dream I Dreamed ' from the ' Contemporary Art Queen ' Kusama Yayoi to Shanghai at the end of 2013.
* The exhibition will feature over 100 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, installations, and documentary film footage.
Yayoi Kusama born in Nagano in 1929, Kusama rose to prominence in New York in the 1960s. She returned to Japan in 1973, moving into the Seiwa Hospital for the Mentally Ill, where she continues to live. Now in her ’80s, Kusama is the world's highest paid living female artist, and is still creating new works.
She have many exhibition but I don't know the reason I like her exhibition ' A Dream I Dreamed '.
Like Warhol, Kusama preferred to be the orchestrator of events rather than a mere participant.In the mid-to-late 1960s she organised experimental performances and socio-political happenings that included ticketed orgies during which the artist painted naked dancers with dots. ‘Some of the naked happenings in New York were against the Vietnam War,’ she says, ‘because the human body is too beautiful to be killed in that way. There were also naked anti-tax happenings because nudism doesn’t cost money.’
She is a cute and creative artist. When I saw her answer, I am laughing about it. Haha =D
Thank You Yayoi Kusama =] I like this title "A Dream I Dreamed" |
