In the 1960s Yayoi Kusama's body of work was seen in the context of Pop Art and her performances were perceived as Happenings. Today her work from the 60s is seen as an important precursor of both Minimalism and the Body Art movement as well as a seminal and powerful expression of the feminine viewpoint. Following the success of Kusama's major retrospective seen at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, this new exhibition catalogue displays a dazzling array of sculpture and installations as well as a new series of canvases, and includes an interview with the artist by Damien Hirst.
