Description
A major career survey of Yayoi Kusama, one of the most widely admired and popular artists of our time, published in collaboration with M+, Hong Kong, to accompany M+â?Ts first Special Exhibition, Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now, from 12 November 2022 to 14 May 2023. Yayoi Kusama is that rare thing: an artist who has achieved truly global acclaim. In a wide-ranging career spanning seven decades and multiple media, she has established profound connections with audiences around the world. Emerging at the forefront of artistic experimentation in Asia in the mid-20th century, Kusama soon became a central figure in the New York art scene of the 1960s. Today, Kusama continues to communicate her highly personal and spiritual world view through her art. Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now is the most comprehensive survey of her work to date. Structured around six thematic sections, â?~Infinityâ?T, â?~Accumulationâ?T, â?~The Biocosmicâ?T, â?~Radical Connectivityâ?T, â?~Deathâ?T and â?~Force of Lifeâ?T, the volume elucidates the aesthetic and philosophical concerns at the heart of the artistâ?Ts oeuvre. In addition to a selection of Kusamaâ?Ts writings, some of which have never been published before, the book features correspondence with Georgia Oâ?TKeeffe, an interview with critic and curator Yoshie Yoshida, and a roundtable discussion among leading authorities in the field. Also included are curatorial essays exploring different aspects of Kusamaâ?Ts practice, and a detailed visual chronology of her life. Appealing not only to those already familiar with Kusama and her work, but also to anyone discovering it for the first time, this monograph reveals an artist who, while shaped by international artistic currents, remains deeply connected to the traditions and culture of her native Japan.
