Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, but is also active in painting, performance, film, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Her work is based in conceptual art and shows some attributes of feminism, minimalism, surrealism, pop art, and abstract expressionism.

Since the 1970s, Kusama has continued to create art, most notably installations in various museums around the world. She has been acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan.
