If you are a fan of self-proclaimed “obsessive artist” Yayoi Kusama—who holds the record for most expensive work sold by a living female artist (US$5.1 million)—now you can snap up some trinkets for your home gallery. Designed with her trademark bright colors and repetitive patterns, the conceptual artist’s range of goods includes the floating action pen, with an image of the artist and her work “Pumpkin” appearing and disappearing; a heat-resistant mug decorated with spotted creatures Ring-Ring and Toko-Ton; bicolored sugar-coated chocolate in a Kusama-designed polka-dot container (“Love Forever”); and “Pumpkin” cookies with exclusive illustrations.
Floating action pen, ¥1,050; Toko-Ton mug ¥1,470; Love Forever, ¥3,360; Pumpkin cookies, ¥630. Available at Roppongi Hills Art & Design Store.
