Yayoi Kusama Whitney Museum Retrospectively 2012 (catalogue)

2012

About the Item

Yayoi Kusama Whiteney Museum Retrospective Catalogue 2012. This rare vintage Kusama Whitney museum catalogue, features Kusama covered in the universal polka dot patterns for which the artist is perhaps best known. Interior features photos of Kusama and text from the Whitney Museum. Medium: Exhibition Catalogue. 28-pages. Offset printed. Dimensions: 5 x 6.5 inches. Very good overall vintage condition. Unsigned from an edition of unknown. "Named 'the world's most popular artist' in 2015, it's not hard to see why Yayoi Kusama continues to dazzle contemporary art audiences globally. From her signature polka dots—to her mirror-and-light Infinity Rooms, Kusama's multi-dimensional practice of making art elevates the experience of immersion. Kusama's practice is so unique, it often transcends the aesthetics and theories of many late twentieth century movements, including Pop Art and Minimalism. Kusama first honed her punchy cosmic style in New York City in the 1960s. During this period, she staged avant-garde happenings, which eventually thrust her onto the international stage with a series of groundbreaking exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in the 1980s and the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993. She continues to churn out paintings and installations at inspiring speed, exhibiting internationally in nearly every corner of the globe, and maintains a commanding presence on the primary market and at auction." (source: Phillips) “The polka dot,” the artist wrote in 1978, “has the form of the sun, which is a symbol of the energy of the whole world and our living life, and also the form of the moon, which is calm. Round, soft, colorful, senseless and unknowing, polka-dots become movement. . .polka dots are a way to infinity...” Related categories: Yayoi Kusama. Polka dots. Whitney Museum. Keith Haring.
