Yayoi Kusama Work, Price Add to Collection 2 I would like to try harder to establish my thought and philosophy strongly and to go back to the universe with my love. Yayoi Kusama Love, Philosophy, Thought Add to Collection 3 People ask about art and commercialism. I think that if someone tries to sell their work at a high price, that is the wrong way of doing it. Yayoi Kusama Work, Art, People Add to Collection 4 I want to create a thousand paintings, maybe two thousand paintings, as many as I can draw. Yayoi Kusama Want, Self Confidence, Create Add to Collection 5 I will keep painting until I die. Yayoi Kusama Painting, Die, Will Add to Collection 6 I was in the U.S. about 15 years. Especially in New York. And then I came back to Japan. Yayoi Kusama New York, Years, New Add to Collection 7 I love Damien Hirst. I respect his work a great deal, and I am happy that the polka dots I started using have become a symbol of love and peace around the world with everybody joining hands to use them in this way. Yayoi Kusama Love, Work, Respect Add to Collection 8 Georgia O'Keeffe proposed that I live with her. She was in New Mexico then, and I wanted to be in New York. Yayoi Kusama New York, Live Add to Collection 9 When I was a child, I used to paint intently. The older I become, and the closer death approaches, the brighter my life gets day by day.

Yayoi Kusama Day, Morning, Effort Add to Collection 11 Basically, my idea and explorations on fashion have not changed; however, I believe I'm going state-of-the-art on fashion. Yayoi Kusama Believe, Fashion Add to Collection 12 I have done all the work myself, not assistants. That's why I'm in a wheelchair: I've been doing it physically - it's hard labour - throughout my life. Yayoi Kusama Life, Work, Myself Add to Collection 13 Painting bodies with the patterns of Kusama's hallucinations obliterated their individual selves and returned them to the infinite universe. Yayoi Kusama Universe, Painting, Patterns Add to Collection 14 Suppose I put polka dots all over my body and then cover my background completely with polka dots. The polka dots on my body, merging with those in the background, create an optically strange scene. Yayoi Kusama Body, Strange, Create Add to Collection 15 It doesn't matter at all for me that I work in hospital or anywhere with limited space. Every day, I'm creating new works with all my might. Yayoi Kusama Work, Day, Space Add to Collection 16 Since my childhood, I have always made works with polka dots. Earth, moon, sun and human beings all represent dots; a single particle among billions. Yayoi Kusama Childhood, Sun, Moon Add to Collection 17 New York is the place that made my and other artists' dreams come true by giving us a chance to realise our ideas and concepts. It was a great place for making a presentation of artistic creation. Yayoi Kusama Dreams, Great, Giving Add to Collection 18 The country of Britain is wonderful because of its royalty.

Yayoi Kusama Love, Peace, Eyes Add to Collection 20 When I paint, some things come out, and I don't know. Maybe it's because I have such talent as a painter. Yayoi Kusama Talent, Know, Paint Add to Collection 21 I have been using polka dots since I was a very young child. Only after that, it seems, have they been used throughout the rest of the art world. Yayoi Kusama Art, Child, World Add to Collection 22 Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environments.

Yayoi Kusama Work, World, Self Confidence Add to Collection 24 I have been taking every step toward the future every day through making many paintings and sculptures with my deep emotion hidden in my life.
