A new exhibition coming to the Tate Modern in 2012 will unveil the work of Japanese master Yayoi Kusama to people staying in hotels in London.

The 82-year-old Japanese artist began life in rural Japan and has ended up a mainstay of the New York art scene.

Having spent almost 35 years living voluntarily in a psychiatric institution, much of Kusama's work addresses issues surrounding obsession, trauma and escape and her installations create incredibly immersive visions.

Having continually reinvented and innovated her style, Kusama is renowned for her repetitive dot patterns with the breadth of her work spanning a vast variety of media.

One of Japan's most prominent contemporary artists, her paintings, drawings, sculpture and even film and performance installations are all equally charged with her unique vision.

The Tate Modern exhibition is the biggest collection of her work the UK has ever seen, with a diverse range of works on display in what promises to be a truly unmissable show.

Yayoi Kusama runs at the Tate Modern from February 9th until June 5th 2012. Entrance is Free.
