"Kusama (Limited Louis Vuitton Cover)" is a large-format monograph of Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026), one of Japan's leading contemporary artists. This comprehensive book traces her extensive career from her early works in the 1950s to her "Infinity Nets" in New York, soft sculptures, happenings, mirror installations, sculptures, and later paintings, with abundant illustrations and documentation. Contributions are made by Akira Tatehata, Laura Hoptman, Chris Kraus, Roselee Goldberg, Olivier Zahm, and others. Published by Rizzoli in 2012, coinciding with a major retrospective exhibition and a global collaboration with Louis Vuitton, this book features a different, limited-edition cover designed exclusively for Louis Vuitton. While the regular edition has three different color covers with the same design, this book is a different, limited-edition version. The jacket, featuring white polka dots on a red background, incorporates motifs used in the collaboration's products. The inside cover features a portrait of Kusama taken by Kishin Shinoyama in 2012, while the endpapers feature a design from Louis Vuitton's window displays. This special edition book symbolizes 2012, a year in which Kusama's art and fashion intersected on a grand scale.
