Yayoi Kusama has worked in a variety of media—from sculpture, drawing, and collage to room-sized installations and performances staged with mirrors and polka dots. However, her series of Infinity Net paintings (some of which stretch to over 30 feet) are among her most acclaimed works. In these paintings, intricate net-like patterns sit atop the ambiguous space of a black background and spread across the canvas from edge to edge as if to continue on into the world outside the picture. The nets are representations of recurring hallucinations that began in the artist’s youth and acted, according to Kusama, as “curtains which separated me from people and reality.” The artist considers her work a means of addressing the anxieties, for which she has lived in a psychiatric institution since 1977. No. Green. No. I is a particularly detailed and early example made during a ten-year period starting in 1958 when the Japanese artist lived in New York and produced a variety of experimental works. Kusama observed: “When I arrived in New York, action painting was the rage, de Kooning, Pollock and others. I wanted to be completely detached from that and start a new art movement. I painted obsessional, monochromatic paintings from morning till night.”
