“When I was in New York, I staged a large number of happenings and anti-art musicals. The shocking scenes that often appeared in those events caused quite a few people, including artists, to criticize and question my thoughts and beliefs as an artist.” Looking back at our interview of the legendary Yayoi Kusama whose second collab with @louisvuitton was just released. Back in 2011 we sent a letter to Kusama and she kindly agreed to answer some of our questions. She talked about her early orgiastic happenings in New York, polka dots, mental health, and meeting Andy Warhol. She says that her obsessive painting of polka dots and nets come from hallucinations that have plagued her vision since childhood. #yayoikusama #polkadot #louisvuitton #mentalhealth
