An updated edition of the acclaimed monograph, celebrating one of the most iconic and revolutionary artists of our time

"Yayoi Kusama transcended the art world to become a fixture of popular culture, in a league with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring." —The New York Times

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.

About the authors:

Akira Tatehata is a poet and art critic who has been awarded the 2005 Takami Jun Award for Literature.
Laura Hoptman is a curator at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Louis Vuitton, the global luxury fashion house, and world-famous artist Yayoi Kusama partner again, and in the storied history of the brand’s epic collaborations with artists, this is the most ambitious to date.

In this important volume about this powerhouse collaboration, artwork by trailblazing artist Yayoi Kusama is featured alongside the groundbreaking fashion collection she designed with Louis Vuitton, and is organized around the seminal artistic themes that inspired the project.

Edited by Ferdinando Verdi and Isabel Venero, the volume includes contributions from renowned experts in both fashion and art, including writer Jo-Ann Furniss who explores the collaboration, designer Marc Jacobs who initiated the house’s relationship with Kusama, and curators Mika Yoshitake and Philip Larratt-Smith, both of whom have organized important exhibitions on the artist’s work. And Hans Ulrich Obrist, the renowned curator and Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries, London, Hans Ulrich Obrist talks with longtime Kusama expert Akira Tatehata.  

In the spirit of this iconic partnership and with a nod to the popular fascination with Kusama, the book includes musings from some of the most important contemporary artists and musicians working today — including Arca, Katherine Bradford, Anne Imhoff, Ryan McNamara, Raúl de Nieves, Ryan Trecartin, Nora Turato, and Jacolby Satterwhite — talking about Kusama’s impact and her extraordinary ability to build fantastical worlds through her signature polka dots and mirror balls, which are joyful representations of her deeply thoughtful philosophy about art and the universe.

Experience the brilliant artist's lifelong obsession with nature and immersion in gardens, a bedrock of her hugely influential work.

Yayoi Kusama’s work is the product of an infinite curiosity and obsessive drive to create. Throughout the artist’s long and varied career, there is one persistent yet little-studied through line — her deep engagement with nature. From early sketches depicting flowers at her family’s plant nursery in Japan, to her most recent monumental sculptures of botanical forms poised to take flight, Kusama consistently calls our attention to the patterns, connections, and cycles of living things that are not always visible.

Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature is the accompanying catalogue to the first comprehensive exploration of the artist’s enduring fascination with the natural world, exhibited across the 250-acre landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. The exhibition examines her lifelong awareness and attunement to nature, which serves not merely as a source of inspiration, but is an integral source of power for her artistic language. This profound life force pervades all of Kusama’s work, from studies of the molecular to contemplations of the universal, resulting in a transcendent, cosmic nature.

Exhibition guest curator Mika Yoshitake, an independent scholar specializing in postwar Japanese art, and Joanna L. Groarke, NYBG exhibitions curator, catalogue co-editors, bring together essays by art historians, curators, and a scientist, who each present unique interpretations of Kusama’s engagement with the natural world. Featuring more than 120 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and archival photographs, including stunning views of the works displayed in NYBG’s gardens and galleries, Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature offers a new perspective on one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists.

Mika Yoshitake is an independent curator, and most recently Curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Alexandra Munroe is Senior Curator at the Solomon R.

Yokai Attack! is a nightmare-inducing one-stop guide to Japan's traditional monsters and creepy-crawlies.

Yokai are ethereal sorts of beings, like ghosts, nearly always encountered at night; everyone has their own take on how they might look in real life and what sorts of specific characteristics and abilities they might have. This book is the result of long hours spent poring over data and descriptions from a variety of sources, including microfilms of eighteenth-century illustrations from the National Diet Library in Tokyo, in order to bring you detailed information on almost 50 of these amazing creatures for the first time in English.

Illustrations, created by the talented Tatsuya Morino, detail the potential appearance of each yokai. Alongside each illustration is a series of "data points," with each yokai's significant features at a glance -- especially handy for any potential close encounters.

Yokai Attack! will surely convince you that Japan's tradition of fascinating monsters is a long one -- yet far from being history.
Book 1 of 3 in the Yokai Attack! series. Others include Ninja Attack! and Yurei Attack!

Фантастична подорож історіями, в яких поєднується міф, хвилювання й таємниця в 200 роботах найстрашніших японських художників 18-го та 19-го століть
Довгий мир Токугава був заснований на крові 40 000 відрубаних ворожих голів. Дійсно, 1600 рік ознаменував собою кінець періоду воєн, які ознаменувалися поразкою військ, що виступали проти генерала Іеясу Токугави.

Відсутність воєн, проганяючи спогади та жахи минулих масових вбивств, сприяла розвитку епічних оповідань, які породжували темну та жахливу атмосферу, як-от гра в сто свічок, випробування на мужність, під час якого купка воїнів зустрічається літньої ночі, щоб розповідати один одному страшні історії, населені чудовиськами з національної традиції.

Отже, у нас є Joro¯ gumo, милі жінки, які розкривають своїм жертвам свою справжню природу величезних павуків; Танукі, милі борсуки, здатні трансформуватися; Бакенеко, жахливі коти; Каппа, водні істоти, які дошкуляють жінкам; Нінґо, русалки, чиє запашне м’ясо може подарувати людям нову молодість або нестерпну смерть. Жахливий ритуал ста свічок — чудова ідея, яка лежить в основі цього оригінального проекту, який представляє 200 творів XVIII і XIX століть, включаючи гравюри, рідкісні антикварні книги, одяг, зброю, мечі, самурайські обладунки, а також сімдесят сім дорогоцінних нецке, маленькі скульптури зі слонової кістки з приватної колекції Бертоккі та десятиметровий сувій. у якому розповідається про Шутендодзі, міфологічну істоту (Оні) на чолі армії монстрів, яка переслідувала гору Ое поблизу Кіото.

Опублікована з нагоди виставки на віллі Реале в Монці, книга є справжньою подорожжю відкриття японської образності, починаючи від знаменитих записників манги Хокусая (поряд з іншими його шедеврами) і закінчуючи роботами Лопутіна, сучасного ілюстратора, добре відомого ентузіастам манги хотаку.

Прекрасне факсимільне видання останнього шедевра укійо-е

Йосітосі (1839-1892) був останнім віртуозом японської гравюри на дереві, і One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, опублікована між 1885 і 1892 роками, стала його вершиною. Ця серія, що переважно ілюструє історії та легенди, об’єднані мотивом місяця, сповнена парадоксу. Щоб продовжити традицію укійо-е, Йосітосі черпав стилістичне натхнення з тих самих сил, які зробили його застарілим, а саме західного мистецтва та засобів масової інформації, таких як фотографія та літографія. Наче усвідомлюючи, що є свідками кінця епохи, публіка художника з ентузіазмом відгукнулася на його новаторську серію, багато окремих принтів були розпродані вранці після їх публікації.

Це чудове факсиміле One Hundred Aspects of the Moon відтворює кожен відбиток у його оригінальному розмірі з поясненням теми. Ретельний вступний текст, доповнений багатьма порівняльними ілюстраціями, простежує кар’єру Йосітоші та генезис цієї серії. Цей том, надрукований і переплетений за найвибагливішими специфікаціями, стане обов’язковим для шанувальників японської гравюри.

"I lived in a haunted apartment." Davisson opens this definitive work on Japan's ghosts, or yurei, with a personal tale about the spirit world. Shifting from anecdotes to deep research to translation of ancient ghost stories, he explores the persistence of yurei in modern Japan and their continued popularity throughout the West. Colour images of yurei appear throughout the book.

An exquisite volume documenting Cartier's most recent bespoke high jewelry collection, destined for eminent clients and collectors.

Devoted to the new High Jewelry and precious objects collection created by Cartier, this book celebrates nature's vitality, sensuality, and aesthetic force. Documents from the House's archives show that flora and fauna have been a major source of inspiration at Cartier since the very beginning.

The representations are numerous, and the interpretations complement each other: figurative, as realistic as possible; stylized, between an outline or suggestion; and all the way to abstraction, with the disconcerting visual play.

The jeweler's imagination and virtuosity transform precious materials and stones into splendid ensembles. For this groundbreaking new collection, the artists who create the designs go even farther than the known natural universe to visit unexplored territories: in addition to the Houses's emblematic species, such as panthers and crocodiles, we discover original creations, inspired, for example, by succulents and peacocks, or even imaginary creatures like reinvented chimeras.

In this richly illustrated volume, the new Cartier High Jewelry collection is accompanied by text that highlights the privileged relationship that exists between contemporary art and nature. Artists, fascinated by the power and the mystery of the environment that surrounds us, move beyond traditional art arenas to confront the immensity of landscapes or to work directly with materials from nature. The natural world is a marvel that never ceases to inspire and seduce.
