Yayoi Kusama
Published by Kunsthalle Wien, Wien, 2002, 304 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 20.3 × 26 cm, German
Price: €48

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Zwischen Welten wandeln at the Kunsthalle Wien, 8 February–28 April, 2002.

Yayoi Kusama’s (b. 1929) work has transcended two of the most important art movements of the second half of the twentieth century: Pop art and Minimalism. Her highly influential career spans paintings, performances, room-size presentations, outdoor sculptural installations, literary works, films, fashion, design, and interventions within existing architectural structures, which allude at once to microscopic and macroscopic universes.

Body Tracks
Ana Mendieta
Published by Kunstmuseum Luzern, Luzern, 2002, 143 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 18.5 × 23.5 cm, German
Price: €95 (Out of stock)

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ana Mendieta: Body Tracks at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, 19 October, 2002–23 February, 2003.

Considered a pioneer of performance art, land art and body art, Ana Mendieta left Cuba for exile in the US in her early youth and died under tragic circumstances in 1985. Linking avant-garde forms of expression with the spiritual mysticism of SanterÌa, a syncretistic religious movement, but also with issues of gender and questions of migration, her work is relevant still today.

With texts by Patrick Dondelinger and Laura Roulet.
