This book comes in three different color patterns (all with the
same cover design). The most comprehensive book devoted to the
incomparable and iconic work of Yayoi Kusama. Yayoi Kusama, now in
her eighties, has become a vital force in contemporary art and an
influence on generations of artists. Arriving in New York City in
1958 from her native Japan, she embarked on a series of works that
forged a new visual vocabulary-the Net paintings, which were
composed of scores of small, thickly painted loops spanning large
canvases. Her singular approach to art making continued in other
extraordinary bodies of work, including the phallic soft sculptures
which she later incorporated into full-scale environments. In 1973
she returned to Japan, where she lives and works today. Since then,
she has created dazzling walk-in mirror rooms and her now-famous
pumpkin sculptures, as well as writing poetry and novels. In this
book-created in close collaboration with Kusama and her Tokyo
studio-the breadth and import of this watershed artist's career are
considered in depth. In addition to studies of the development of
her artistic vocabularies across different media, the book includes
ephemera, sketches, and photographs from the artist's extensive
archive that have never been seen before. The publication is timed
to coincide with the artist's major touring retrospective, which
makes its American debut at the Whitney Museum in New York in
summer 2012, as well as with the much-anticipated collaboration
with powerhouse fashion brand Louis Vuitton. Contributors include:
Leslie Camhi, RoseLeeGoldberg, Laura Hoptman, Chris Kraus, Arthur
Lubow, Kevin McGarry, Louise Neri, Akira Tatehata, and Olivier
Zahm.
