Below, a small photograph of the artist in dark robes stands beside the inscription \"Yayoi Kusama 1983\". A band of capital letters lists the terms of her practice, from Happening and Polka Dots to Infinity and Obsession, above her name in wide spaced type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe year matters: Kusama had returned from New York a decade earlier, and 1983 also brought her a literary prize for new writers.
