Yayoi Kusama (B. 1929), Attributed To, Color Print On Paper
Yayoi Kusama (B. 1929), Attributed To, Color Print On Paper
Provenance And Authenticity:The Lower Margin Bears An Apparent Edition Number Of 46/100, Japanese Title Characters, The Inscribed Name "Yayoi Kusama," And The Date 1982. These Visible Notations Establish The Work'S Presented Identity As An Editioned Print And Provide The Principal Basis For Its Attribution And Dating. The Sheet Is Preserved Beneath A Wide Cream-Colored Mat Within A Natural Wood Frame. No Separate Certificate, Publisher Information, Or Documented Chain Of Ownership Has Been Provided With The Lot.
Historical Significance:The Image Reflects Kusama'S Long-Standing Transformation Of Familiar Objects Through Repetition, Pattern, And Optical Accumulation. Rather Than Presenting The Hat As A Conventional Still-Life Subject, The Composition Dissolves Its Surface Into An All-Over Network That Connects The Object To The Surrounding Field. The Apparent Date Of 1982 Places The Work Within An Important Period Of Kusama'S Printmaking Practice, When Motifs Drawn From Clothing, Plants, Domestic Objects, And Organic Forms Were Frequently Reinterpreted Through Her Distinctive Language Of Dots And Repetitive Linear Structures.
Signature:Yayoi Kusama
Description:The Work Depicts A Stylized White Hat With An Extended Brim, A Bright Yellow Band, And Upright Green Decorative Elements Against An Intensely Patterned Red Field. The Image Is Constructed From Hundreds Of Irregular, Mosaic-Like Divisions That Fracture The Surfaces Of The Hat, Background, And Surrounding Forms Into A Continuous Network Of Rhythmic Marks. A Black Border Filled With Repeated White Dots Encloses The Composition, Intensifying The Contrast Between The Central Object And Its Densely Activated Environment. The Vivid Red, Yellow, Green, Black, And White Palette Gives The Image A Strong Graphic Presence, While The Repeated Patterns Transform An Ordinary Personal Accessory Into An Imaginative And Psychologically Charged Subject.
Valuation:The Work'S Appeal Is Strengthened By Its Vivid Palette, Clearly Recognizable Central Subject, Apparent Edition Notation, And Prominent Dated Inscription. Kusama Prints Incorporating Dense Patterning And Polka-Dot Borders Remain Particularly Attractive To Collectors Because They Closely Express The Visual Principles Most Strongly Associated With Her Practice. The Condition Of The Sheet, Quality Of The Printed Colors, Completeness Of The Margins, Supporting Documentation, And Verification Of The Inscriptions Would Be Important Considerations In Determining Its Position Within The Secondary Market.
