Yayoi Kusama: I Who Have Arrived In Heaven

Yayoi Kusama, Akira Tatehata

Yayoi Kusama: I Who Have Arrived In Heaven offers an in-depth look at the multifaceted practice of this pioneering artist. Over the span of six decades, Kusama’s work has transcended two of the most important art movements of the second half of the twentieth century—pop art and minimalism—drawing vocabulary from both to forge a hallucinatory visual style that is distinctly her own. As articulated by art critic and poet Akira Tatehata, “the genius that generates [Kusama’s] fertile artistic world, a paean to life, is driven by obsessive thoughts”—and her extraordinary and highly influential career encompasses works in various mediums that unfailingly conjure both microscopic and macroscopic universes at once.
