Yayoi Kusama's work is the product of an infinite curiosity and obsessive drive to
create. Throughout the artist's long and varied career, there is one persistent yet
little-studied through line--her deep engagement with nature. From early sketches
depicting flowers at her family's plant nursery in Japan, to her most recent monumental
sculptures of botanical forms poised to take flight, Kusama consistently calls our
attention to the patterns, connections, and cycles of living things that are not always
visible. KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature is the accompanying catalogue to the first comprehensive
exploration of the artist's enduring fascination with the natural world, exhibited
across the 250-acre landscape of The New York Botanical Garden. The exhibition examines
her lifelong awareness and attunement to nature, which serves not merely as a source
of inspiration, but is an integral source of power for her artistic language. This
profound life force pervades all of Kusama's work, from studies of the molecular to
contemplations of the universal, resulting in a transcendent, cosmic nature. Exhibition
guest curator Mika Yoshitake, an independent scholar specializing in postwar Japanese
art, and Joanna L. Groarke, NYBG exhibitions curator, catalogue co-editors, bring
together essays by art historians, curators, and a scientist, who each present unique
interpretations of Kusama's engagement with the natural world. Featuring more than
120 drawings, paintings, sculptures, and archival photographs, including stunning
views of the works displayed in NYBG's gardens and galleries, KUSAMA: Cosmic Nature
offers a new perspective on one of the world's most celebrated contemporary artists
