Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Kusama has influenced the direction of American art more than any other post-war Japanese artist. Her work combines elements of expressionism, minimalism, surrealism and pop art.

Reseña del editor:

Against all odds and more than any other post-war Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama has had a profound and lasting influence on the art of today. An unjustly neglected figure in the pantheon of the avant-garde, whose irrepressibly inventive, playfully subversive work foreshadowed many trends in the art world, Kusama has in recent years been subject to a revival of interest. This book, organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Japan Foundation in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art, New York, focuses on the artist's time in the West in order to help retrieve a chapter of art history that was almost lost. Despite the fact that Kusama exhibited widely in the 1960's, her voluntary entry into a Tokyo psychiatric institution in 1977 furthered the artist's increasing invisibility in this country. Yet the influence of her quirky sensibility on contemporary art is now recognized as extraordinary. This book, containing examples of her paintings, sculptures, collages, and precedent-setting installations, also provides scholarly assessments by international art critics.
