Ceramic plate.
Ed. Third drawer Down.
With marks on the base.
Measurements: 27 cm. diameter; 27 x 5 x 27,5 cm. (box).
Ornamental plate made of ceramic decorated with a typical Kusama's design, with an organic appearance, in strongly contrasting colors.
Contemporary Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama settled in the United States in 1957, where she participated personally and indirectly in psychedelia and Pop Art. Mentally tired, she returned to Japan permanently in 1973, where she has lived since then in a psychiatric hospital, interned of her own free will. Throughout her career, Kusama has received important awards both in Japan and abroad, including the French Order of Arts and Letters in 2003 and the Japanese Praemium Imperiale in 2006, in the category of painting. This artist has acquired special notoriety for her installations with mirrors, red balloons, toys and other objects, in the middle of which she placed herself on stage. Her works of recent years are paintings on cardboard in an ingenuist style. Among the most recent exhibitions dedicated to her production is the complete retrospective dedicated to her by the M.N.C.A. Reina Sofía, in collaboration with the Tate Modern in London, in 2011, which subsequently traveled to the same Tate, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Whitney Museum in New York. Kusama is currently represented at MoMA in New York, the Fukuoka Art Museum, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Tokyo, the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the Art Institute of Chicago and many other museums and art centers around the world.
