Description: 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. Kusam a: 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 Kusam a: Cosmic Nature offers a new perspective on one of the world's most celebrated contemporary artists.
