Yayoi Kusama

This book accompanies Yayoi Kusama's 2021 retrospective exhibition at Gropius Bau, Berlin.

Yayoi Kusama. A Retrospective features groundbreaking new research and archival documents, including photography and film materials. These focus on Kusama's early 1960s exhibitions in Germany and Europe, as well as covering a wide range of aspects of her oeuvre, which spans a period of over seventy years. New essays by eleven esteemed authors provide insights into Kusama's work from various points of view, with perspectives that have been previously neglected. As such, the artist's commitment to political and social issues in Europe, America and Japan are illuminated.
