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 minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
