This exhibition will pay its attention to a variety of development of concreteness work which Kusama produced to date from the 1940s. Including sketching and Japanese painting before visit to the United States, concrete description is frequent in prints which deal with a large quantity of score since we start in collage, 1979 when we worked intensively in the 70-90 generation. We introduce work of imminent motif which it is easy to get close to such as the animals and plants and daily necessities appearing quite frequently in them in this exhibition. From picture repeated cultivation to represent painting of recent Kusama dealing after 2000, image of self-portrait and mysterious person exhibits work group described in freewheelingness on large and small canvases. It is characteristic of Kusama work that forms near aspect to cry only for abstract picture which is All-over style by being repeated to fill the whole exhaustively, and a certain one concrete image such as profile and eyes being described. From pumpkin motif which is one of the subjects that Kusama likes most, installation of mirror room which we produced in commemoration of the opening of Yayoi Kusama Museum and large sculpture are displayed. Furthermore, it is going to be exhibited the world to the public first the most new item of soft sculpture using boat which we announced for the first time in the 1960s.
