Japanese avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama is world-renowned for her exquisite dot and net paintings, as well as sculpture and performance works. And now, 70 of her classic works from the 1950s to 2005 are coming on show at the Museum of the National Taipei University of Education. FTV reporter Stephany Yang takes us in for a look!
The exhibition includes Kusama’s large-scale paintings and sculptures m ade over five decades, iconic pumpkin-inspired works, and dots series.
Aside from her signature works, the exhibition also exhibits over 10 rarely-seen video works from the 1960s, collage creations from the 1970s, and clothing designed by Kusama. These works focus on Kusama’s early experimental performances, which significantly shaped her artistic career. Some works are being exhibited in Taiwan for the first time.

Yayoi Kusama’s exhibition covers the period from 1951 to 2005, regarded as Yayoi Kusama’s first golden period. Now, you can see it all over the world in major art museums. Especially in the past 10 to 20 years, Yayoi Kusama has become a cultural icon because she is a creator without boundaries. The style of her artistic creation is also very diverse and rich. For this exhibition, I want everyone to see a different Yayoi Kusama. This is the first time these works are appearing in Taiwan.
In addition, the exhibition also displays works that were part of Kusama’s first exhibition in Taiwan at the 1998 Taipei Biennale. One work is called “Dots Obsession.” It was inspired by the hallucinations Kusama faced as a child, in which her surrounding space was covered with repeating patterns.

Curator
Yayoi Kusama’s connection with Taiwan began at the 1998 Taipei Biennale. At the 1998 Taipei Biennale, there was this work called “Dots Obsession.” It was tailor-made for the Taipei Biennale. In 1998, Yayoi Kusama was already on the world stage again. She is a very outstanding contemporary artist. She has experienced a lot of contradictions and pains in her life. Through this process, everyone can see her feelings.
From painting, sculpture, collage, fashion, video, and installations, the exhibition showcases Kusama’s diverse multidisciplinary practice. The exhibition will be held at the Museum of the National Taipei University of Education the weekend before Christmas until May 4 2025.
