    Yayoi Kusama’s Rain in the Evening Glow (1992) is a screenprint measuring 61 × 53.3 cm (24 × 21 in.), produced in an edition of 75. The print combines Kusama’s fascination with natural phenomena and her signature use of stylised forms, presenting a vision of falling rain illuminated by the atmospheric light of dusk. The rhythmic composition evokes both the serenity of nature and the psychological intensity that underpins much of her practice.
     
    In this work, raindrops become more than fleeting impressions. Stylised and repeated across the surface, they transform into a patterned field that reflects Kusama’s lifelong interest in infinity, cycles, and self-obliteration. The glowing background heightens the effect, suggesting both the calm of evening and the charged energy of transformation.

  • “I wanted to start a revolution, using art to build the sort of society I myself envisioned.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the early 1990s, Rain in the Evening Glow demonstrates Kusama’s ability to translate lived experience and memory into bold, graphic imagery. The print bridges the natural and the psychological, inviting the viewer to see ordinary phenomena as part of a larger, infinite continuum.
