KUSAMA YAYOI YAYOI KUSAMA I SPEND EACH DAY EMBR...

The newest book from the widely revered Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama features her latest
monumental and vibrant work and is the first to explore the experience of seeing it from the
lens of the visitor   “My entire life has been painted here. Every day  any day. I will never
cease dedicating my whole life to my love for the universe.” —Yayoi Kusama   One of the most
influential artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries  Yayoi Kusama occupies a unique
position within recent art history. Since the 1950s  she has created a profoundly personal
oeuvre that resonates with a global audience. Distinctly recognizable  her works frequently
deploy repetitive elements—such as dots—to evoke both microscopic and macroscopic universes.  
Celebrating the visitor experience  this publication offers an immersive tour of Kusama’s 2023
exhibition at David Zwirner New York. Illustrating thirty-five paintings  a gigantic sculptural
maze of pumpkin walls  a lush garden of towering flowers  and a fan-favorite Infinity Mirror
Room  the result is a book that offers the sense of experiencing the work in person for readers
who have not had the chance.   New scholarship by Robert Slifkin looks at how Kusama innovates
and complicates art historical traditions of image production and how her art seeks to connect
humans with the greater cosmos. An essay by Lynn Zelevansky reflects on her own long-standing
engagement with Kusama’s work and the ways in which it  across the decades  can be seen as a
record of love in all its complexity: full of humanity  generosity  affection  sadness  and
pain.
