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 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.
