Yayoi Kusama

0/5 ( ratings)

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has pursued her principal themes of infinity, self-image, sexuality and compulsive repetition since she took the New York art world by storm in the late 1950s with her Infinity Nets -- heroically-scaled paintings covered in endlessly repeating net-like patterns, which won the admiration of artists ranging from Barnett Newman to Donald Judd. In Kusama's installations and sculptures she compulsively covers every surface, either in polka dots ; mirrors ; or phallus-like protrusions .This is the first monograph on the forty-year career of this distinguished, highly innovative artist, who represented Japan at the Venice Biennale in 1993; it was published to coincide with an exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, London, January -- March 2000.
