{"product_id":"yayoi-kusama-infinity-mirrors","title":"Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores Yayoi Kusamas best-known and most spectacular seriesthe Infinity Mirror Roomsand its influence on the course of contemporary art over the past 50 years. World-renowned Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has worked in a variety of media  including painting  sculpture  performance art  and installation. Kusamas iconic Infinity Mirror Rooms  which originated with Phallis Field in 1965  situate viewers in kaleidoscopic spaces filled with multicolored lights or whimsical forms. These mirror-lined installations reflect endlessly  distorting rooms to project the illusion of infinite space. Over the years  the works have come to symbolize different modalities within the various contexts they have inhabited  from Kusamas \"self-obliteration\" in the Vietnam War era to her more harmonious aspirations in the present. By examining her early unsettling installations alongside her more recent ethereal atmospheres  this volume aims to historicize the body of work amidst the resurgence of experiential practices within the global landscape of contemporary art. Generously illustrated  this publication invites readers to examine the series impact over the course of the artists career. Accompanying essays  an interview with the artist  and a scholarly chronology round out the book.  Published in association with the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946167431221,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791355945","price":153.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791355948_79f76a66-a519-4477-b6cb-b43f3dfa9783.jpg?v=1770158664","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/yayoi-kusama-infinity-mirrors","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
