The newest book from the widely revered Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama
features her latest monumental and vibrant work and is the first to
explore the experience of seeing it from the lens of the visitor
“My entire life has been painted here. Every day, any day. I will never
cease dedicating my whole life to my love for the universe.” —Yayoi
Kusama
One of the most influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries, Yayoi Kusama occupies a unique position within recent art
history. Since the 1950s, she has created a profoundly personal oeuvre
that resonates with a global audience. Distinctly recognizable, her
works frequently deploy repetitive elements—such as dots—to evoke both
microscopic and macroscopic universes.
Celebrating the visitor experience, this publication offers an
immersive tour of Kusama’s 2023 exhibition at David Zwirner New York.
Illustrating thirty-five paintings, a gigantic sculptural maze of
pumpkin walls, a lush garden of towering flowers, and a fan-favorite
Infinity Mirror Room, the result is a book that offers the sense of
experiencing the work in person for readers who have not had the chance.
New scholarship by Robert Slifkin looks at how Kusama innovates and
complicates art historical traditions of image production and how her
art seeks to connect humans with the greater cosmos. An essay by Lynn
Zelevansky reflects on her own long-standing engagement with Kusama’s
work and the ways in which it, across the decades, can be seen as a
record of love in all its complexity: full of humanity, generosity,
affection, sadness, and pain.
