“I paint nets to try to escape from my obsessional neurosis, but they also express the infinity of the universe.”
– Yayoi Kusama
By the turn of the millennium, Kusama’s Infinity Nets had become not only a personal anchor but also an internationally recognised symbol of her work. This painting illustrates how she adapted a motif born of psychological necessity into one of the most celebrated expressions of postwar abstraction, bridging her early radical practice with her enduring global legacy.
