Reading Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Net

I've been up late the last two nights reading Yayoi Kusama's autobiography, Infinity Net. 

"All of my works are steps on my journey, a struggle for truth that I have waged with pen, canvas, and materials. Overhead is a distant, radiant star, and the more I stretch to reach it, the further it recedes. But by the power of my spirit and my single-hearted pursuit of the path, I have clawed my way through the labyrinthine confusion of the world of people in an unstinting effort to approach even one step closer to the realm of the soul."

-Yayoi Kusama

Kusama is an interesting figure in the art world. I have yet to see one of her works in person but will do so next month when her new exhibit opens in Los Angeles. 

I'm also going to a screening of a new documentary about her next week.

I do not know if her work appeals to me but her passion to be an artist is something that I understand and can relate to. The book is a fascinating read especially her stories about other artists and their impact on her life. I'm really glad that I was able to find an inexpensive hardcover copy for my library.

What do you think of Kusama? Have you read the book? Are you going to see the documentary? Read any interesting art bios lately?
