Product: Yayoi Kusama (2017)
English
The revised and expanded 2016 edition of the acclaimed monograph on one of the most iconic and groundbreaking artists of our time.
‘Yayoi Kusama transcended the art world to become a fixture of popular culture, in a league with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring.’ — The New York Times
Kusama gained international recognition for her pioneering work around themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality and compulsive repetition. A prominent figure in the New York art scene of the 1960s, she later combined psychedelic imagery and popular culture with pattern and repetition, often resulting in participatory installations and series of paintings.
This edition builds on the original 2000 monograph, still one of the most comprehensive studies of her work, and includes a new essay by Catherine Taft as well as a selection of poems by Kusama herself.
