- Summary
- In a unique style that is both sensory and utopian, Yayoi Kusama's work?which spans paintings, performances, room-size presentations, sculptural installations, literary works, films, fashion, design and interventions within existing architectural structures?has transcended some of the most important art movements of the second half of the 20th century, including pop art and minimalism. As Roberta Smith wrote in the New York Times, "These paintings form a great big infinity room of their own, but one in which each part is also an autonomous work of art, its own piece of wobbly, handwrought infinity ? their vitality is infectious."0Yayoi Kusama: Festival of Life documents the artist's exhibition at David Zwirner's Chelsea location in New York in late 2017, featuring a selection of paintings from her iconic My Eternal Soul series, new large-scale flower sculptures, a polka-dotted environment and two Infinity Mirror Rooms. The monograph includes new scholarship on the artist by Jenni Sorkin, as well as a special foldout poster.00Exhibition: David Zwirner Gallery, New York, USA (02.11.-16.12.2017) / Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, USA (09.07.-30.09.2018) / High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA, USA (18.11.2018-17.02.2019).
