草間彌生是一位少有的藝術家，她獲得了真正的全球讚譽。在跨越7個十年、多種媒材的廣泛職業生涯中，她與世界各地的粉絲建立了深厚的聯繫。草間彌生於20世紀中葉亞洲藝術實驗的最前沿嶄露頭角，很快成為1960年代紐約藝術界的中心人物，而如今，她透過藝術持續傳達自己極為個人化和精神化的世界觀。
《草間彌生：1945至今》是迄今為止對她作品最全面的研究，全書圍繞著6大主題，包括“無限”(Infinity)、“累積”(Accumulation)、“生物宇宙”(The Biocosmic)、“全面聯結”(Radical Connectivity)、“死亡”(Death)和“生命的力量”(Force of Life)，這本書闡明了藝術家作品核心的美學和哲學關注點。
除了一部分從未發表的草間彌生作品之外，書中還收錄了她與喬治亞‧歐姬芙的通信、與評論家和策展人吉田好惠的一次訪談記錄、以及和該領域主要專家之間的圓桌討論。此外，本書還收錄探索草間彌生不同實踐方面的策展論文、以及關於她的生活的詳細年表圖。這本專著不僅吸引那些對草間彌生及其作品已經熟悉的人，還吸引了那些第一次發現她作品的人，揭示了這位藝術家雖然受到國際藝術潮流的影響，但仍然深深地與她的故鄉日本的傳統和文化的深刻連結。
Yayoi Kusama is that rare thing: an artist who has achieved truly global acclaim. In a wide-ranging career spanning seven decades and multiple media, she has established profound connections with audiences around the world. Emerging at the forefront of artistic experimentation in Asia in the mid-20th century, Kusama soon became a central figure in the New York art scene of the 1960s. Today, Kusama continues to communicate her highly personal and spiritual world view through her art.
Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now is the most comprehensive survey of her work to date. Structured around six thematic sections, ‘Infinity’, ‘Accumulation’, ‘The Biocosmic’, ‘Radical Connectivity’, ‘Death’ and ‘Force of Life’, the volume elucidates the aesthetic and philosophical concerns at the heart of the artist’s oeuvre.
In addition to a selection of Kusama’s writings, some of which have never been published before, the book features correspondence with Georgia O’Keeffe, an interview with critic and curator Yoshie Yoshida, and a roundtable discussion among leading authorities in the field. Also included are curatorial essays exploring different aspects of Kusama’s practice, and a detailed visual chronology of her life. Appealing not only to those already familiar with Kusama and her work, but also to anyone discovering it for the first time, this monograph reveals an artist who, while shaped by international artistic currents, remains deeply connected to the traditions and culture of her native Japan.
