markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis work is composed of a dense, intricate pattern of lines spreading across the entire rectangular canvas. Countless thin lines intertwine, forming a mesh or net-like structure. This pattern consists of thousands of small polygonal cells, many of which are composed of triangles and quadrilaterals, connected by tiny points of contact. This characteristic is seen in Yayoi Kusama's signature \"Infinity Nets\" series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe line drawing is extremely delicate and elaborate, and the density of the mesh, created using the lithograph printing technique, subtly changes across the entire surface, resulting in an organic gradation of light and shadow that gives depth and movement to the two-dimensional composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe visual characteristics of the work strongly align with Yayoi Kusama's artistic themes of repetition, proliferation, and infinity. However, the authenticity of the work cannot be determined solely from the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe work is covered entirely by a net-like pattern constructed from countless fine lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis expression belongs to the lineage of \"Infinity Nets\" (Mugen no Ami) that Yayoi Kusama explored throughout her life from the 1950s, symbolizing the infinity and spiritual expansion created through repetition. The meticulous accumulation of lines embodies the fundamental theme of Kusama's art: integrating with the cosmos beyond the boundaries of the individual. While the image suggests the possibility of it being a limited edition print, its authenticity requires verification by a specialized institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCaptivated by social freedom and the vibrant art scene in postwar America, Yayoi Kusama left Japan in 1958 and moved to New York. Soon after, she began creating her \"Infinity Nets\" series, including \"No. F.,\" exploring the concepts of infinite repetition and infinite space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe vast white canvases anticipated the monochrome works of later minimalists, while the thickly layered, intricate net-like texture showed a more personal and obsessive side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn fact, these \"nets\" are believed to be a material expression of the patterns Kusama continuously saw in her hallucinations. She suffered from visual hallucinations from an early age, and these experiences became a significant source of inspiration for her lifelong artistic endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eUpon moving to New York in 1958, Yayoi Kusama began creating her \"Infinity Nets\" series, which marked the starting point of her global recognition. Through repetitive net patterns, this work expresses infinite space and the continuity of life. The meticulous patterns spreading across the white canvas foreshadow later minimalism, while also being a profoundly personal expression rooted in Kusama's own hallucinatory experiences. By rendering the hallucinatory images she had seen since childhood into paintings, Kusama sublimated anxiety and fear into art, creating a unique visual language that stands as a testament to 20th-century art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis \"Infinity Net\" is not merely an abstract expression but is positioned as an important series embodying the fundamental philosophy of Kusama's art, which seeks to transcend the boundaries between self and cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ギャルリー亜出果","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47862855172247,"sku":"kusama-6","price":7700000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/5504\/8588\/files\/fwE9oQz5deqFjhTJrKtGVU96HENn7CPWPubtBj5ou1izJZ7ATW9KwDOVmAQd6zYd_5e223602-221a-473d-b2df-099fc6ae9913.jpg?v=1780471619"},{"product_id":"kusama-7","title":"Yayoi Kusama, Infinity Nets (Black), 2000","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: .6pt; language: ja;\"\u003eAcrylic on Canvas 117x91\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: .5pt; language: ja;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: .9pt; language: ja;\"\u003ecm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: .5pt; language: ja;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; language: ja;\"\u003e\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: .5pt; language: ja;\"\u003e 46.1x35.8 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Arial MT'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial MT'; letter-spacing: -.25pt; language: ja;\"\u003ein.

On the relatively small canvas, Kusama's characteristic persistent repetition creates intense concentration and psychological tension, connecting the personal inner world with cosmic infinity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ギャルリー亜出果","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47866035962007,"sku":"kusama-10","price":186000000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/5504\/8588\/files\/fwE9oQz5deqFjhTJrKtGVU96HENn7CPWPubtBj5ou1izJZ7ATW9KwDOVmAQd6zYd.jpg?v=1780471536"},{"product_id":"kusama-9","title":"Yayoi Kusama Dazzling Pumpkin 2016","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) \u0026amp; Tile 146.1 × 142.2 × 134.6 cm \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis \"Starry Pumpkin, 2016\" is a three-dimensional work that develops Yayoi Kusama's signature motif of a pumpkin in a more \"cosmic\" and \"sparkling\" direction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor Kusama, pumpkins are not merely cute shapes but special beings that have been a source of comfort since childhood. Kusama's pumpkins are rooted in her childhood memories, and are seen as humble and humorous presences for her, often appearing as substitutes for her self-portraits. In other words, it is easier to understand this work's pumpkin not as a still life, but as a \"vessel\" that captures Kusama's own emotions and presence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe \"Starry\" in the title of this work emphasizes the impression of \"sparkling like stars\" and \"reminiscent of the cosmos.\" While repetitive dots and patterns are important in Kusama's work, if we consider that Kusama imagined an \"infinite universe\" through her repeated small brushstrokes and dots, then \"Starry Pumpkin\" is a work that overlays a cosmic sense of infinity onto the intimate and organic form of a pumpkin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe fascination of it being \"tiles\" rather than polka dots \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe fact that the material of this work is tiles is very important. Many of Kusama's representative works feature black polka-dotted pumpkins, but in \"Starry Pumpkin,\" the surface reflects light more, creating a sense of particles gathering to form an image. In other words, rather than polka dots being directly depicted here, they seem to be transformed into star-like particles, a collection of light, or a mosaic-like skin. The combination of the title and the material elevates this work from being just a \"cute pumpkin\" to an existence like a luminous cosmic body. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf we associate Kusama's polka dots with the cosmos, where each individual is assimilated into a larger cosmic element, then in \"Starry Pumpkin,\" we can say that we are not just looking at \"the surface pattern of a pumpkin,\" but at a living organism opening up to the cosmos. The \"proliferation,\" \"repetition,\" and \"endlessness\" often found in Kusama's works are indeed present in this three-dimensional piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSince this work is approximately 146cm tall, it is better suited to be viewed by walking around it rather than looking at it from the front like a painting. This is because the rounded form, the undulations of the ridges, the reflection of the tiles, and the rhythm of the surface change with each viewing angle. M+ also states that Kusama's pumpkins are not all the same symbol, but each has a different shape and personality. In other words, while this work is a \"classic Kusama motif,\" it is important to view it not as a mass-produced repetition, but as a unique individual with its own personality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\"Starry Pumpkin, 2016\" is a work that overlays the image of stars, infinity, and the cosmos onto Yayoi Kusama's intimate self-image of a \"pumpkin.\" Despite its soft and approachable form, as you look at it, your sense of scale shifts, and you are led from personal emotion to cosmic expansiveness. I believe that this coexistence of \"cuteness\" and \"endlessness\" is the charm of this work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ギャルリー亜出果","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47866069385367,"sku":"kusama-9","price":674400000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/5504\/8588\/files\/fwE9oQz5deqFjhTJrKtGVU96HENn7CPWPubtBj5ou1izJZ7ATW9KwDOVmAQd6zYd.jpg?v=1780471536"},{"product_id":"kusama-8","title":"Yayoi Kusama, INFINITY-NETS (RED), 2018","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAcrylic on canvas, \u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e194 × 194 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eA series belonging to the “\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eInfinity Nets\u003c\/span\u003e” collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe most important perspective for this work is that “repetition is not ornamentation, but the movement of the spirit itself.” The canvas is filled with countless small arcs and nets; each one is a small brushstroke, yet the overall effect evokes an endless expanse.

This means that among Kusama’s infinity nets, the intensity of red is a very important aspect of this piece. Red is a color that simultaneously evokes vitality, excitement, caution, and pain, and in this work, it harbors strong tension and heat within its quiet repetitions.
