Signed, numbered, dated and titled on the front - Image size: 45.5 by 53 cm; 18 by 20.7 in. - Paper size: 53.5 by 61 cm; 21 by 24 in - Literature: Yayoi Kusama Prints 1979-2011, ABE Publishing, Tokyo, Japan, 2011, p.28 (illustrated in colour) Shoes (Kusama 30) by Yayoi Kusama is a 1984 screenprint that transforms an everyday object into a striking field of pattern and symbolism. A pair of red high-heeled shoes floats against a black background densely filled with looping yellow lines, creating an intense visual contrast. The shoes are covered in Kusama’s signature white dots, which vary in size and density, dissolving the solid form into a rhythmic surface. Small green bows introduce a playful accent while reinforcing the tension between elegance and repetition. The work reflects Kusama’s ongoing exploration of obsession, accumulation, and identity, using fashion as a site of both desire and psychological projection. Measuring 53.5 × 61 cm, the print was produced in an edition of 100 and is signed, titled, dated, and numbered on the front.

What is Art Brut?
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
