What is Yayoi Kusama's art style called?
What Yayoi Kusama's art style is called depends on the piece, as she has produced works that can be classified as Minimalism, Pop art and Surrealism. However, you can refer to all of her work as contemporary art. After moving to New York City in 1958, the Japanese artist flourished, creating prescient sculptures and large-scale monochrome paintings that bridged current styles with Minimalism. Kusama was captivated by the Surrealists as well as the Abstract Expressionists and greatly influenced the Pop artists who followed, befriending such icons as Donald Judd — who called her work “the best paintings being done” — and Andy Warhol, with whom she exhibited and later accused of stealing her ideas.
