Painted in 2014, a year when Yayoi Kusama was named the world’s most popular artist following her two major retrospectives, A FLOWER witnessed another pinnacle of the artist’s career with its captivating scale and beguiling composition. A vibrant purple dahlia blooms in front of a golden ocean of petals, A FLOWER is a rare surrealist still life that evokes the universe’s infinite capacity for rebirth. As a recurring motif that threads through Kusama’s oeuvre over the last seven decades, flower embodies the dualities of life and death, celebration and mourning, masculinity and femininity, and thus exemplifying Kusama’s core artistic language of envisioning negatives as positives in her process of ‘self-obliteration’. Created in her eighties, this magnificent painting was Kusama’s heartfelt ode to life. 📆 Preview: 25-28 November Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre 📆 Live Auction: 28 November, 7PM HKT 20th/21st Century Art Evening Sale #christies #christieshk2023 #hongkong #kusama #auction」11月22日 9時02分
