Interview / Akira Tatehata in conversation with Yayoi Kusama -- Survey: Yayoi Kusama: a reckoning / Laura Hoptman -- Focus: Driving image, Essen, 1966 / Udo Kultermann -- Artist's choice: Poems from A Handful of Sand / Takuboku Ishikawa -- Artist's writings -- Update: Dashing into the Future: Kusama's twenty-first century / Catherine Taft -- Chronology.
Summary: Kusama is internationally renowned for her groundbreaking work on themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality, and compulsive repetition. A well-known name in the Manhattan scene of the 1960s, Kusama's subsequent work combined Psychedelia and Pop culture with patterning, often resulting in participatory installations and series of paintings. This revised and expanded edition of the 2000 monograph, which is arguably still one of the most comprehensive studies on her work to date, has been augmented by an essay by Catherine Taft and a collection of new poems by the artist.
