以愛為主題，試圖喚醒所有人心裡被隱藏的那部分
有「圓點女王」之稱的前衛藝術家草間彌生以無比的創意與原創力打造許多前衛及令人難忘的藝術作品。少女時代就歷經不斷與湧自心中的幻覺，這樣的幻覺飄散於草間彌生的宇宙，不斷的增加，進而成了她的作品，散播於世界各地。
這次她與松本市美術館合作，展示作品為目前最多最大的展覽，完整感受草間彌生藝術生涯的所有作品，包括她早年因幻覺而創作的作品；旅居紐約時所打造的「無盡的網」和「波爾卡圓點」；風靡80至90年代的無限鏡屋；還有目前正在進行的大型系列作品「我永遠的靈魂」。草間彌生不斷創新和改造自己的風格，她的圓點作品眾所皆知，而她的藝術創作涵蓋各種形式，包括繪畫、雕塑、電影、表演和沉浸式裝置。這次的展出包含許多她想表達的意義，例如和平、愛情、戰爭、青春等，從中感受她與眾不同的美術觀。
Avant-garde artist Yayoi Kusama's matchless creativity and originality have been captivating the world since she moved from Matsumoto, her hometown in Nagano, Japan, to the USA in 1958. In the last ten years alone, her retrospective exhibitions in four major European and American museums, including Tate Modern, London, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, have seen record attendance. Kusama has continuously innovated and re-invented her style. Well-known for her repeating dot patterns, her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation. It ranges from works on paper featuring intense semi-abstract imagery, to soft sculpture known as ‘Accumulations’, to her ‘Infinity Net’ paintings, made up of carefully repeated arcs of paint built up into large patterns. This comprehensive publication, originally published to accompany a sell-out exhibition at Matsumoto City Museum of Art, offers a comprehensive overview of Kusama's entire career, including works from her youth, when she indulged in drawing in order to escape from her hallucinations; paintings made when she was based in New York, including ‘Infinity Nets’ and ‘Polka Dots'; works from the1980s and 1990s, when she participated in the Venice Biennale; and last but not least, the ongoing large-scale series ‘My Eternal Soul’. The plates are in chronological order and followed by detailed captions.
