Yayoi Kusama

YAYOI KUSAMA IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL ARTISTS, YET ONLY RECENTLY HAS HER REPUTATION CAUGHT UP TO HER REACH. AFTER LEADING THE VANGUARD IN POP ART, MINIMALISM AND FEMINIST ART IN THE 1950S, ’60S AND ’70S, KUSAMA SURVIVED A PERIOD OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS AND PROFESSIONAL OBSCURITY TO RE-EMERGE IN THE 1990S. THIS PAINTING, INFINITYNETS OCBTIR, IS PART OF A SERIES THAT EXPLORES HOW TO CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF THE INFINITE. IT IS BEING EXHIBITED BY TOKYO’S WHITESTONE GALLERY.
