The Sketch.inc for Lucie Kaas collection includes some of the greatest legends and icons within the fashion, art, music and cultural world. The collection grows each season with the dolls making their place in the world of designer collectibles. Kokeshi dolls are traditional Japanese figures characterized by a large head and a simple body.
The kokeshi dolls are hand-painted. Slight imperfections may be present which are typical of handmade work. These are not defects but features that make every doll unique.
IMPORTANT: The Kokeshi is suitable for indoor use only and not suitable for young children due to the gold pigment used. Pablo Picasso doll is intended for display purposes only not as a toy.
Kusama’s prolific oeuvre ranges from large paintings and sculptures to performance pieces and political demonstrations. Since childhood, Kusama has been creating works using polka dots and nets as motifs in a variety of media. During the 1950s and 1960s, she played a major role in New York’s avant-garde art scene, participating in many happenings, including an unannounced performance in the Sculpture Garden of The Museum of Modern Art in 1969. In 1973, Kusama returned to Japan. Two years later, seeking treatment for her obsessive-compulsive neurosis, she entered the Seiwa Hospital for the Mentally Ill, where she lives and works to this day. She continues to produce paintings and sculpture, and, in the 1980s, added poetry and fiction to her range of creative pursuits.
