An artist of true international renown, Yayoi Kusama (1929–) has reached beyond the bounds of art to touch imaginations all around the globe. This book is the full Japanese translation of the catalogue to Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now, held from 2022 to 2023 at Hong Kong’s M+ Museum as the most comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s works to date. The pages feature over 300 plates organized along six themes—“infinity,” “accumulation,” “the biocosmic,” “radical connectivity,” “death,” and “force of life”—as well as essays and other writings by the artist at different phases of her career that offer insight into the many dimensions of her vast oeuvre. A detailed, richly illustrated chronology and a roundtable by curators of past Kusama exhibitions around the world further enrich the volume’s survey of the astounding works of an avant-garde master who is indispensable to any accounting of contemporary art.

This is the Japanese edition of a book published in the United Kingdom in 2023 and 2024 by Thames & Hudson Limited.
