Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton: Creating Infinity

Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton: Creating Infinity marks the culmination of the House's collaboration with world-renowned artist Yayoi Kusama. It invites readers to immerse themselves in her groundbreaking artworks and the revolutionary fashion collection that she designed as they journey through the fundamental artistic themes that inspired the collaboration. Under the direction of Ferdinando Verderi and Isabel Venero, the book features an unprecedented introduction by Yayoi Kusama herself and contributions from esteemed experts in the fields of fashion and art. These include writer Jo-Ann Furnis who explores the collaboration, designer Marc Jacobs who initiated the House’s relationship with Kusama and curators Mika Yoshitake and Philip Larratt-Smith, both of whom have organised important exhibitions on the artist’s work. In addition, Hans Ulrich Obrist, the renowned curator and Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries in London, talks with long-time Kusama expert Akira Tatehata. In the spirit of this iconic partnership and with a nod to the popular fascination with Kusama, the book includes musings from important contemporary artists and musicians. They talk about Kusama’s impact and extraordinary ability to build fantastical worlds through her signature polka dots and mirror balls, which are joyful representations of her deeply thoughtful philosophy about art and the universe.
