Yayoi Kusama: 9 February - 5 June 2012

LONDON | NEW YORK | TOKYO
@Tate & @WhitneyMuseum

Princess of Polka Dots

is a feature documentary about avant-garde artist @KUSAMA_YAYOI that is currently in post-production @KusamaFilm.

The paparazzi nicknamed her the Polka Dot Princess in the 1960s when she lived in New York City. At that time, she rivaled Andy Warhol for press attention. Now in her early 80s, Kusama is considered Japan’s greatest living artist. She is currently the subject of a retrospective at the Tate Modern Museum that will travel to the Whitney Museum in July 2012.

Here a 7 minute custom-made “trailer” created for the Tate Modern which is now screening in London as part of the Kusama retrospective.
