Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist who has become an Instagram favourite in her 90s with her fantastical pumpkin sculptures, polka dots and kaleidoscopic infinity rooms, is the subject of a blockbuster retrospective heading to Australia.

In December, the National Gallery of Victoria will present one of its most expansive exhibitions to date, with eight decades of work by Kusama – now 95 years old – on display across the gallery’s entire ground floor.
