Large pink inflatable tentacles are part of a retrospective exhibition of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama in Berlin.
More than seven decades of her work is being celebrated, from her signature polka dots to infinity rooms.
Stephanie Rosenthal, curator of show and director of Martin Gropius Bau said, We have almost 250 works in 19 rooms. It is really an exhibition that shows that she both wrote art history and that she is still today one of the most progressive artists.
Kusama became famous in Japan with her paintings before she moved to New York in 1956. She then became a leading figure in the pop art scene.

“Điển is like a flower; there is no question of growing or not growing.”
It’s the same with Lê Triều Điển and creating art, according to his fellow painter and friend of many years, Tri Ròm.
“My paintings are like scar tissue,” Điển says when pressed for the best feedback he’s ever received about his paintings. “You might look at them and see rubbish, but they heal pain,” he adds before likening them to the lotus flowers that emerge from the muck in his delta homeland.
A flower emerging from mud is an apt metaphor for Điển’s life and career as a whole. He was born in the Mekong Delta in 1944, and the past eight decades have involved the poverty, sacrifice, war and trauma that are sadly common to his generation, as detailed in his powerful autobiography
Recommended Painter/Decorator
I wanted to make a strong recommendation for Michail Kogios if anyone is after a brilliant painter/decorator. He did our open plan living room/dining room as well as our hallway and stairs. His work was fantastic - really precise and careful. They guys he has working with him as well are a real pleasure to have in the house: courteous, tidy and considerate as well as quick! I highly recommend. Give him a call: 077 4345 9792 Tags for Forum Posts: decorator, painter

Thanks for all the recommendations for Michail on here - I have had him decorate my flat on the basis of these recommendations, and would strongly echo what everyone has said. He has done an excellent job, and was careful, considerate and a really nice guy to have around. I will definitely use him in future.
