Yayoi Kusama — Madder-colored Cloud
Yayoi Kusama

Madder-colored Cloud

1997

Madder-colored Cloud presents one of Kusama's most hypnotic graphic compositions, rendered in 1997 as a screenprint on Velin d'Arches paper. The work draws the eye into a dense, undulating field of organic forms, their madder-tinged tones evoking both cellular biology and the boundless expanse of sky. Kusama's signature obsessive mark-making finds a natural home in the screenprint medium, where precise layers of color and repetition amplify the sense of infinite accumulation that defines her practice. The result is a work that oscillates between the intimate and the cosmic, collapsing the distance between interior experience and the vastness of the natural world. Produced in an edition of 100 and printed on the prestigious Velin d'Arches paper, this work reflects the same rigorous attention to material quality that Kusama brings to her paintings and large-scale installations. The paper's weight and texture lend the composition a quiet authority, allowing the colors to sit with depth and warmth rather than surface flatness. Each print is hand-signed by the artist, confirming its place within her carefully maintained graphic legacy and distinguishing it as a direct expression of her authorship rather than a purely reproductive object. For collectors, Madder-colored Cloud represents an accessible entry point into the work of one of the most celebrated living artists, whose market has demonstrated sustained international strength across decades. The work is presented framed and is currently available through WEART, offering an opportunity to acquire a signed, editioned work that carries both cultural resonance and enduring appeal within any serious contemporary collection.
