If seen through the lens of creativity, Yayoi Kusama’s spot-covered beautiful anomalies—seen on unusually large pumpkins, tentacles, and hypnotic spotted surfaces—have a lot in common with Louis Vuitton, the luxury lover’s go-to name. On the surface, these two strong entities may seem to stand poles apart—one drenches its luggage in an emblematic four point star and a quartet-petalled flower, while the other uses polka dots. But under these attractively packaged masterpieces, the goal for each has always been to create something infinite in its essence.
