这位九十多岁的日本艺术家是世界上最**和最神秘的艺术家之一。20世纪50年代和60年代，放荡不羁的她在国际性的Fluxus 艺术运动中脱颖而出，在纽约发起了裸体行为艺术，并成为该城市反文化圈子中的一个重要人物。20世纪70年代初，她回到了日本，1977年，她自愿住进了一家精神病院，并一直住到现在。然而，虽然远离外面的世界，但她绝对没有退休。她对波尔卡圆点的热爱和信仰在过去四十年中产生了一些最令人惊讶和鼓舞人心的装置艺术和绘画作品——并使她的展览成为在世艺术家中参观人数最多的展览。

Nonagenarian Japanese artist is simultaneously one of the most famous and most mysterious artists on the planet. A wild child of the 1950s and 1960s, she emerged out of the international Fluxus movement to launch naked happenings in New York and went on to become a doyenne of that city's counter-

cultural scene. In the early 1970s, she returned to Japan and by 1977 had checked herself in to a psychiatric hospital which has remained her home to this day. But, though she was removed from the world, she was definitely not in retirement. Her love and belief in the polka dot has given birth to some of the most surprising and inspiring installations and paintings of the last four decades - and made her exhibitions the most visited of any single living artist.
