    Yayoi Kusama’s Flowers 2 (1999) is a screenprint measuring 54 × 45 cm, produced in an edition of 60. The work presents Kusama’s celebrated floral motif, transformed through her bold graphic style and rhythmic repetition. Its stylised contours and vibrant composition reveal her ability to turn a familiar natural subject into a symbol of both vitality and infinity.
     
    The flower has long been a central theme in Kusama’s practice, representing growth, renewal, and the cycles of nature. In Flowers 2, the subject is stripped of naturalistic delicacy and reimagined with hypnotic intensity, reflecting her fascination with repetition and her desire to obliterate boundaries between self and environment.

  • “Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the late 1990s, Flowers 2 demonstrates Kusama’s ability to merge organic imagery with her psychological and conceptual concerns. The print captures the duality of her practice, playful yet profound, reaffirming her status as one of the most influential artists of contemporary art.
