Shanghai - Kusama at MoCA
Print Edition
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai (MoCA Shanghai) is showcasing the solo exhibition “A Dream I Dreamed” by Yayoi Kusama through March.
This is also her first public exposure in China.
Yayoi Kusama, born in 1929, is a Japanese artist and writer. Throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of media, including painting, collage, sculpture, performance art and environmental installations, most of which exhibit her thematic interest in psychedelic colors, repetition and patterns.
As the only stop in China’s mainland, this exhibition will include more than 100 pieces of art, including Kusama’s video creations, silkscreen on canvas, her signature pumpkin sculpture, large-scale installations and some of her latest paintings.
A precursor of pop art, minimalist and feminist art movements, Kusama influenced contemporaries such as Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg.
She was largely forgotten after departing the New York art scene in the early 1970s.
But Kusama is now acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of Japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde.
