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 pop-art?
Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
