artnet Auctions offers a later example of Yayoi Kusama's important Infinity-Nets series
Yayoi Kusama (Japanese, b.1929), Infinity-Nets (OPARHJ), 2012. Acrylic on canvas, 51.25 х 51.25 in. (130.18 x 130.18 cm.). Signed, titled, and dated on the reverse. Estimate US$400,000-600,000.



NEW YORK, NY.- Live for bidding now on artnet Auctions is Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity-Nets (OPARHJ) (2012). Japanese-born artist Yayoi Kusama has been painting Infinity Nets since her arrival in New York in the late 1950s. Kusama’s obsession with patterns and repetitious dots led her to paint this visually complex motif, now widely recognized as one of her most important series. For over 50 years, Kusama has continued to examine her Infinity Nets series, resulting in iconic paintings and installations.

In this later example of Kusama’s Infinity Nets series, dated 2012, the artist’s signature psychedelic color palette is ever apparent. Sweeping circular strokes of pink layer on top of a deep virescent background, highlighted with vibrant accents of green that punctuate the painting. The meticulous accumulation of color creates a tremendous sense of depth, seeming to pulsate throughout the work. Kusama’s composition is deeply engaging, successfully breaking the boundary of the canvas.

This exceptional painting has an estimate of $400,000 to 600,000, and is live for bidding through November 25, 2014. View details or bid now, here.

“I gradually feel myself under the spell of the accumulation and repetition in my nets which expand beyond myself, and over the limited space of canvas, covering the floor, desks and everywhere.” —Yayoi Kusama
