            <display>Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese master painter, sculptor, performance, and installation artist, began her artistic career in the 1950s. She lived and worked in New York City from the late '50s through the early 1970s, where she was an influential participant in the avant-garde scene. Since her return to Tokyo, Kusama has lived by her own choice in a psychiatric hospital, maintaining an off-site studio with a staff of assistants. This permanent installation is described; "beyond a set of double doors, walk first into a black corridor and then into an intensely lit space whose floor is covered in hot red dots. Three female mannequins painted white, their bodies and hair covered with the dots, are reflected in the mirrored walls and ceilings."</display>
