草间弥生以她的开创性工作为主题，如无限、自我形象、性和强迫性重复等。作为上世纪60年代的曼哈顿场景中**的名字，草间弥生的作品结合了迷幻和流行文化，通常会产生参与性的装置和一系列的绘画。这本2000年的专著修订和扩充版本，可以说是迄今为止对她作品的最全面的研究之一。她的一篇文章被凯瑟琳塔夫脱和艺术家的新诗集所扩充。

"Yayoi Kusama transcended the art world to become a fixture of popular culture, in a league with Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Keith Haring." ―The New York Times

Kusama is internationally renowned for her groundbreaking work on themes such as infinity, self-image, sexuality, and compulsive repetition. A well-known name in the Manhattan scene of the 1960s, Kusama's subsequent work combined Psychedelia and Pop culture with patterning, often resulting in participatory installations and series of paintings. This revised and expanded edition of the 2000 monograph, which is arguably still one of the most comprehensive studies on her work to date, has been augmented by an essay by Catherine Taft and a collection of new poems by the artist.
