Yayoi Kusama Sogetsu Art Museum 1992 (Rare Kusama exhibition catalogue)

About the Item

Yayoi Kusama Sogetsu Art Museum Tokyo / Committee of the Exhibition of Yayoi Kusama, 1992: A rare early 1990s Kusama exhibition catalog marking the turning point of Kusama’s international stardom. Published on the occasion of the retrospective: Yayoi Kusama Sogetsu Art Museum Tokyo / Committee of the Exhibition of Yayoi Kusama: Sept. 21 – Oct. 31, 1992. One of a series of retrospectives in the 1980s and 1990s which brought the artist back into international prominence, following a period of inattention as a result of Kusama departing New York in 1973. 20 years later, this exhibition at the Sogetsu Museum became a historical step towards Kusama's representation at the Venice Biennale in 1993. A superb Kusama collectible bound in bright green felt, with a silver stamped front title area & spine. A fine impression. Further details: Hardcover exhibition catalog. 9x12 inches. Unsigned from an edition of unknown rare. 1st edition. Published Tokyo, 1992. Very good overall vintage condition. On Yayoi Kusama: "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."
