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.
