| book description |

The first and only comprehensive volume exploring the artistâ€™s best-known and most spectacular series Published with Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. This book presents world-renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusamaâ€™s most famous series, the Infinity Mirror Rooms, and charts its influence on the course of contemporary art for over 50 years. Kusamaâ€™s rooms are filled with multicolored lights that reflect endlessly. Ranging from peep-show-like chambers to multimedia installations, each of Kusamaâ€™s kaleidoscopic environments offers the chance to step into an illusion of infinite space. This definitive publication traces these installations and reveals how, over the years, the works have come to symbolize different modalities, from Kusamaâ€™s â€œself-obliterationâ€ in the Vietnam War era to her more harmonious aspirations in the present. By examining her early unsettling installations alongside her more recent atmospheres, this publication historicizes her pioneering work amid todayâ€™s renewed interest in experiential practices. Generously illustrated, this book invites readers to examine the seriesâ€™ impact over the course of the artistâ€™s career. Yayoi Kusama (born 1929) has worked not only in sculpture and installation but also painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction and other arts. In her early career in Japan, she produced mostly works on paper. With her late-1950s move to New York City, she joined the ranks of the avant-garde, working in soft sculpture and influencing the likes of Warhol and Oldenburg. At this time, she was also involved with happenings and other performance-oriented works and began to deploy her signature dots. Her work fell into relative obscurity after her return to Japan in 1973, but a subsequent revival of interest in the 1980s elevated her work to the canonical status that it still enjoys today.
