    Yayoi Kusama’s Standing in the Visionary Field (1979) is a screenprint on Hakou-shi paper, measuring 20 × 25.6 in., produced in an edition of 100 with an additional 10 artist’s proofs. The work reflects Kusama’s fascination with immersive environments and psychological landscapes, translated here into the medium of print. Its title evokes both a physical and mental space, where the boundary between perception and imagination is blurred.
     
    The composition is charged with Kusama’s distinctive use of repetition and stylised form, presenting a dreamlike scene that captures the intensity of her inner visions. By layering organic shapes and graphic detail, she creates a patterned field that is at once expansive and intimate, inviting viewers to step into the world of her imagination.

  • “I translate the hallucinations and fear of my life into paintings.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the late 1970s, Standing in the Visionary Field demonstrates Kusama’s ability to transform private visions into shared experiences. The print resonates with her wider practice of the era, where art became both a means of survival and a pathway to infinity.
