“Accumulation is the result of my obsession, and through it I create a world of my own.”
— Yayoi Kusama
As with many of her editioned works from the late 1990s, High Heels (2) demonstrates Kusama’s ability to fuse personal symbolism with popular culture. The shimmering lamé surface amplifies the sense of allure, turning the print into a striking statement of style and repetition, and reinforcing her lifelong interest in dissolving boundaries between art, fashion, and everyday life.
