About This Item
Original Hardcover. Publisher: Thames & Hudson Ltd. | | Original Hardcover | 400 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: A major career survey of Yayoi Kusama, one of the most widely admired and popular artists of our time, published in collaboration with M+ museum, Hong Kong. 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. Now in her nineties, 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. The volume is structured around six thematic sections, 'Infinity', 'Accumulation', 'The Biocosmic', 'Radical Connectivity', 'Death' and 'Joy of Life', each of which is intended to elucidate the aesthetic and philosophical concerns at the heart of the artist's oeuvre. This book features selections from Kusama's hitherto unpublished writings, as well as correspondence with Georgia O'Keeffe, an interview with critic and curator Yoshie Yoshida, and a roundtable discussion from leading curators and Kusama experts. Also included are essays exploring different aspects of her practice, and a detailed illustrated chronology that places her life's work in context. 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. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
