W magazine's cover
sees the Hollywood heartthrob wearing an Armani suit and shoes as customised by
the reclusive Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (one of our favourites), renowned for her obsession with
dots. But before you think that the connection is completely random, just as

Yayoi Kusama: Self Obliteration
Japan’s Polka-Dot Pioneer on a Life at the Mercy of
Her Art
“She says that if she doesn’t paint she wouldn’t exist,” says MartÃn Rietti
of his latest subject, 84-year-old Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. “Her work has
an authenticity that I don’t often see in contemporary art.” The Argentinian
director visited Kusama at her studio in Tokyo ahead of her latest show that
opens at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires, curated by Deputy
Chief Curator of MALBA, Philip Larratt-Smith, and Francis Morris, who curated
her retrospective. See the video on:
