Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now

Yayoi Kusama is the most visited living artist in the world — and the artist whose work, from polka dots and pumpkins through her Infinity Mirror Rooms to the monumental sculptures that have appeared in cities from New York to London, has achieved a level of popular recognition unprecedented in contemporary art. This Thames & Hudson retrospective gathers her complete output from 1945 to the present, placing her childhood in wartime Japan, her years as an outsider in New York’s art world, her period of institutionalisation in Tokyo, and her current global fame in a single coherent account of one of the most extraordinary artistic careers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

For anyone who has stood in an Infinity Mirror Room and wants to understand the mind behind it. Published by Thames & Hudson.
