About The Artwork
In vibrant yellow, red, blue and green, this cotton handkerchief with hand-rolled edges has been designed in collaboration with avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama. It features a design taken from her piece Joy I Feel When Love Has Blossomed, and can be used as a handkerchief, pocket square, or wall-hanging. Joy I Feel When Love Has Blossomed is a vibrant piece where Kusama employs several of her well-known motifs to fill the canvas – circles, dots, faces, eyes and tentacular shapes. If you look closely at the edges, you’ll see they’re joined on this occasion by two cups and saucers.
About Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama (b.1929) is a highly influential Japanese artist. She is best known for her immersive installations, the Infinity Mirror Rooms, and her iconic polka-dot paintings. With a practice based in conceptual art, Kusama’s work spans medium with ease: travelling across painting, installation, performance, video art, fashion, and text. A pioneer in feminist pop art, Kusama’s work is concerned with autobiography, sexuality, and the contemporary psychological condition.
Kusama is considered one of today’s most important conceptual artists and has exhibited extensively on an international basis. Her work has been collected by institutions worldwide including National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Museum of Modern Art, New York City; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; Tate, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and Centre Pompidou, Paris, among many others.
She is represented by David Zwirner, Ota Fine Arts, and Victoria Miro.
