Yayoi Kusama 1945 – Now accompanies Kusma’s first major presentation in Portugal and aims to introduce the artist’s life and career oven seven decades. For those discovering Kusama for the first time, this book serves as an invitation to delve into an artistic universe that is simultaneously boundless and accessible. For those already familiar with her work, this volume elucidates the aesthetic and philosophical concerns at the heart of the artist's oeuvre, structured around six thematic sections: Infinity, Accumulation, The Biocosmic, Radical Connectivity, Death, and Force of Life. It includes texts from the exhibition curators Doryun Chong (Deputy Director and Chief Curator, M+, Hong Kong), Mika Yoshitake (independent researcher and curator), and Isabella Tam (Assistant Curator).

This publication is the Portuguese version of a more extensive publication initially released by M+ and Thames & Hudson. The original English edition is available for purchase at the Museum's bookshop.
