Yayoi Kusama is one of Japan's most celebrated artists. In 2008, Christie's New York sold one of her highly-prized "Infinity Net" paintings for $5.1 million at auction - a record for a living female artist at the time. Mo Rocca speaks with Kusama about her love and obsession for creating art and takes a close look at Kusama's major retrospective at the Whitney Museum.
