Being able to intern at Yayoi Kusama's studio is an extremely valuable opportunity for most artists.
It's basically akin to students of finance interning at Goldman Sachs or J.P. Morgan, or accounting students at PricewaterhouseCoopers or Ernst & Young, in their top-notch core departments.
With such credentials,
whether you want to pursue a pure art painting career and eventually sign with a gallery, or become an art curator, work as a senior market advisor at an auction company like Christie's or Sotheby's, or even make a fortune at luxury companies like LV or Hermes, it's all at your disposal.
What's more, Yayoi Kusama is the premier female artist.
In the art market, the price of works by female artists is often significantly lower than that of male artists, yet the average price of Yayoi Kusama's works almost matches that of the top male painters, which speaks volumes.
Not even Elder Cao can compare, it's not about the money.
