Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now, edito da Thames & Hudson, apre le porte del bizzarro e affascinante mondo della famosa artista avanguardista giapponese. Yayoi Kusama è principalmente nota per le sue opere a pois, ma la sua lunga e variegata carriera include molto, molto di più. Il libro presenta i principali lavori di Kusama in ordine cronologico, dalle pitture, i disegni e le sculture ai film, le performance e le installazioni. Ogni opera racconta a suo modo la storia di questa artista unica, in continua evoluzione.
This comprehensive publication, originally published to accompany a sell-out exhibition at Matsumoto City Museum of Art, offers a comprehensive overview of Kusama’s entire career, including works from her youth, when she indulged in drawing in order to escape from her hallucinations; paintings made when she was based in New York, including ‘Infinity Nets’ and ‘Polka Dots’; works from the 1980s and 1990s, when she participated in the Venice Biennale; and last but not least, the ongoing large-scale series ‘My Eternal Soul’. The plates are in chronological order and followed by detailed captions.
