The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) remembers the true visionary and global icon, Yayoi Kusama. An extraordinary voice whose art transcended geographic and conceptual boundaries, Kusama’s fearless exploration of infinity, self-obliteration, and the avant-garde changed the landscape of modern art forever.
