1995
This striking black and white etching by Yayoi Kusama presents a dense, all over field of white circular forms of varying sizes against a deep black ground. The relentless repetition of concentric rings and open circles creates a hypnotic, infinite visual field that is central to Kusama's lifelong obsession with obliteration and cosmic infinity. Hand signed in pencil in the lower right of the image, this work is edition YKP212 to 019 of 50 plus 8 artist proofs and was obtained directly from the artist's studio. A rare opportunity to acquire a key example of Kusama's printmaking practice from the mid-1990s.

Artists in conversation
Tatsuo Miyajima
Japanese · b. 1957
Miyajima creates immersive LED installations featuring endlessly repeating numerical sequences that evoke infinity, cosmic cycles, and Buddhist philosophy, sharing Kusama's obsessive repetition, spiritual transcendence, and enveloping light environments.
teamLab
Japanese · b. 2001
teamLab produces large scale immersive digital installations filled with luminous, repeating abstract forms that dissolve boundaries between viewer and universe, directly echoing Kusama's infinity rooms, celestial imagery, and the philosophical dissolution of self into endless space.
Olafur Eliasson
Danish Icelandic · b. 1967
Eliasson constructs immersive installation environments using mirrors, light, and geometric repetition to create perceptually overwhelming spaces that blur self and cosmos, closely mirroring Kusama's infinity rooms in their capacity to induce awe, disorientation, and transcendence through radical immersion.
