Neon, polka dots, and psychedelia. Japanese artist and writer Yayoi Kusama masters the art of pattern as displayed in Martin Rietti’s film, Self-Obliteration. With Georgia O’Keefe as one of her early mentors, and a trajectory that extends across seven decades, Kusama continues to marvel with works that are overpowering as they are unsettling.
