Dizzying dots and eye-popping polka dots, the trademarks of Japanese-born visual and performance artist Yayoi Kusama. For Kusama art is a necessity--"art as medicine." By choice Kusama lives and works in a psychiatric facility in Japan. Her madness--she sees dots! There is a retrospective of her work at the Whitney Museum in NYC until September 30, 2012.
