More DescriptionA non-Western female artist arriving in the US as Pop art and Minimalism were beginning to take shape, Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) was part of these milieus but also remained somewhat outside of them, developing a highly distinctive artistic universe. Yayoi Kusama: In Infinity offers an extensive overview of the major stages of Kusama's work: from her abstract, intensively hand-crafted Infinity Net paintings (which made Kusama's initial reputation in New York) to the soft, eroticized furniture sculptures covered in hundreds of white, penis-like forms, ending with Kusama's recent works that shape whole spaces as intense environments. This volume also includes new essays discussing Kusama's artistic and literary work and four of Kusama's own poems.
