She signed on with fashion brands like Louis Vuitton as well as other licensed products like teacups, T-shirts and key chains with her illustrations, including replicas of her likeness that were used in show windows and other marketing.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008, Christie&#8217;s auctioned her work for $5.8 million.

She suffered years of poverty and obscurity. But she kept painting dots.<\/p>\n<p>She put circles of paper on people&#8217;s bodies, and once a horse, in &#8220;happening&#8221; anti-war performances in the late 1960s, which got some people arrested for obscenity but helped get media attention for her art. While in New York, she befriended artists like Andy Warhol, Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe and Joseph Cornell, who praised her innovative style.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Kusama made quirky but stunningly celebratory works like &#8220;Macaroni Girl,&#8221; a female figure plastered with macaroni, which expresses the fear of food; &#8220;The Visionary Flowers,&#8221; giant sculptures of twisting tulips, and &#8220;Mirrored Corridor,&#8221; a room with mirrors that delivers an illusion of a field of phallic protrusions speckled with dots.<\/p>\n<p>Kusama, who also made films and published several novels, said she wasn&#8217;t sure where she got her ideas. She just picked up her brush and started drawing. The process was so mysterious sometimes she surprised herself, she told AP.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/27\/4a87a311-a4fd-47d3-8002-1baa84f39e17\/thumbnail\/620x414\/d7de537af618eb77378e5a3d4cc878c7\/gettyimages-643513952.jpg#\" alt=\"Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrors exhibit \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/27\/4a87a311-a4fd-47d3-8002-1baa84f39e17\/thumbnail\/620x414\/d7de537af618eb77378e5a3d4cc878c7\/gettyimages-643513952.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/08\/27\/4a87a311-a4fd-47d3-8002-1baa84f39e17\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/ef67581bc36a13ea8f7c3c5dd41bac84\/gettyimages-643513952.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A woman photographs inside the Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity room during a preview of the Yayoi Kusama&#8217;s Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the Hirshhorn Museum Feb. 21, 2017, in Washington, D.C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;I think, &#8216;Oh, I drew that?
