    Yayoi Kusama’s Dots Infinity (1986) is a screenprint on wove paper, measuring 280 × 320 mm, produced in an edition of 100. The work exemplifies Kusama’s enduring fascination with repetition and the polka dot motif, which she has used throughout her career as both a personal symbol and a universal language of infinity.
     
    In this print, the endless field of dots creates a hypnotic rhythm, reflecting Kusama’s lifelong exploration of self-obliteration and boundless space. As with many of her editioned works, Dots Infinity translates the immersive quality of her large-scale paintings and installations into a more intimate format, allowing collectors to engage directly with one of her most iconic visual themes.

  • “Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    The work is defined by its bold use of colour, with teal-green dots scattered across a vivid pink ground. This striking contrast generates an optical intensity that draws the viewer’s gaze across the surface, creating a sense of endless motion.
    The playful yet charged pairing of green and pink reflects Kusama’s ability to use colour as a psychological force. Rather than serving as decoration, these tones heighten the visual impact of her iconic dot motif, transforming a simple form into a hypnotic field that suggests both microscopic patterns and infinite cosmic space.
