"New York Tokyo" is a collection of works by Yayoi Kusama, a world-class Japanese artist. Born in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture in 1929, Yayoi Kusama is famous for her infinity nets, images of dots, and installations using soft sculptures. During childhood, the discord between his parents, and during his miserable adolescence and growth period, he tried to throw himself from the platform of the Chuo Line many times to die, but was helped by many people and psychiatrists, It seems that the reaction became the vitality for art and became a purpose of life. The mental instability and the uncontrollable situation gave birth to such creative works, and the balance between creativity and spirit was always at the limit. Kusama, who moved to New York in the 1950s and came to the spotlight in performance art, was also a pioneer of successful artists in the United States. This book is a set of two books that summarizes his activities in New York in the 50s and 60s, and in Tokyo from the 70s to the 90s after returning to Japan. It was published on the occasion of an exhibition held in Tokyo and Los Angeles.
