Description

This exclusive MoMA Skateboard Yayoi Kusama made in 100% Canadian Maple Wood features the iconic Japanese artist’s work “Dots Obsession” (2018). This exclusive Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) collection of skateboards are replicas of artworks specially created by the artist herself. Original skateboards began as samples based on digital renderings from Yayoi Kusama’s works and were later sent to the artist’s studio in Tokyo for her approval. Upon reviewal, the artist decided that the designs needed additional alterations so Kusama meticulously hand-painted her famous motif over each deck. The final product of these exclusive MoMa Yayoi Kusama skateboards remain true to the pattern of Kusama’s hand-painted pieces.

The Artist

Kusama

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.
