Kusama’s own account of her life and work.

Ffrom her childhood in Japan through her years in New York in the 1960s, to her eventual return to Japan and long-term voluntary residence in a psychiatric hospital.

Infinity Net traces the development of her visual language. That instantly recognisable repetition, polka dots, mirrored environments, put against her experiences of hallucination, obsession and endurance within the art world. It’s both an artist’s memoir and a document of survival.

Clear, direct, poetic, the book offers context for one of the most recognisable bodies of contemporary art without smoothing over the difficulty behind it.

For readers interested in contemporary art, artist memoir, Japanese art history, and creative process.
