“When I arrived in New York, action painting was the rage, de Kooning, Po***ck and others. I wanted to be completely detached from that and start a new art movement. I painted obsessional, monochromatic paintings from morning till night.”

We are deeply saddened by the passing of legendary artist Yayoi Kusama, whose works in a variety of media—from sculpture, drawing, and collage to room-sized installations and performances staged with mirrors and polka dots—will always capture our imagination.

Her series of Infinity Net paintings are among her most acclaimed works, with intricate net-like patterns sitting atop the ambiguous space of a black background and spreading across the canvas from edge to edge, as if to continue on into the world outside the picture. “No. Green. No. I” is a particularly detailed and early example made during a ten-year period starting in 1958 when the Japanese artist lived in New York and produced a variety of experimental works.

We will forever be inspired by Kusama’s legacy. 💜

That was fast!

It was back in 1968 when Mel Bochner—born in 1940—began experimenting with rubbing blue carpenter’s chalk into the porous surface of a wall, creating paintings inseparable from the wall itself.

Here, Bochner has imagined anew an artwork he previously brought to life for collector Suzanne F. Cohen, reversing its areas of blue pigment to conjure a ghost image of the work as it was in her space.

📍 This installation of "Random Lines (Transposed)" was on view in On Certainty: Gifts from the Collection of Suzanne F. Cohen from 2021-2022.
