The updated edition of this acclaimed monograph celebrates the extraordinary talent of Yayoi Kusama, an iconic and revolutionary artist of our time. Renowned for her groundbreaking exploration of themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality, and compulsive repetition, Kusama has transcended the art world to become a prominent figure in popular culture, alongside the likes of Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring, as noted by The New York Times.

During the vibrant Manhattan scene of the 1960s, Kusama made a name for herself with her unique fusion of Psychedelia, Pop culture, and intricate patterning. Her work often involved participatory installations and series of paintings, captivating audiences with their immersive and interactive nature.

This revised and expanded edition of the 2000 monograph remains one of the most comprehensive studies on Kusama's work to date. It now includes an insightful essay by Catherine Taft and a collection of new poems by the artist herself, further enriching the understanding and appreciation of Kusama's artistic journey.
