Overview
Overview of a celebrated artist's oeuvre Recognized as one of contemporary art's most influential figures, Yayoi Kusama has gained cult status through her exploration of repetitive patterns and structures— especially her signature polka dots and mirror rooms, which immerse viewers in seemingly infinite worlds. This catalogue, accompanying Kusama's retrospective in Riehen/Basel, Cologne, and Amsterdam, showcases the broad spectrum of media she has engaged with over the years, spanning painting, sculpture, installations, drawing, collage, happenings, live performances, fashion, and literature. Organized in close collaboration with the artist and her studio, the exhibition provides a comprehensive overview of Kusama's more than seven- decade career. In addition to some of her most iconic works, exhibition and catalogue include early pieces never before seen in Europe, as well as new productions.
