The image features a pair of bright red, polka-dotted high-heeled shoes with green bows, set against a dense, swirling yellow and black background. The repeated dots on the shoes reflect Kusama’s fascination with obliteration through pattern, where objects become subsumed by the endless repetition of motifs. The swirling, vine-like background adds a dynamic sense of motion to the composition, contrasting with the static, central placement of the shoes. Signed, numbered, dated, and titled by the artist on the front, this limited edition print is a playful yet profound exploration of Kusama's ongoing themes of obsession, accumulation, and infinity. Her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to transform the mundane into something transcendent is fully realized in this work.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
