Self-Portrait (Kusama 221) framed print | Yayoi Kusama Framed Print | Yayoi Kusama Prints

Self-Portrait (Kusama 221) framed print by Yayoi Kusama — Self-Portrait (Kusama 221) is a distinct image of the artist, not a repeat of Kusama 9. Its catalogue reference signals a separate representation within a varied printmaking practice.

Another perspective on the artist herself

Self-representation connects naturally to Kusama’s lifelong exploration of personal identity and visual self-obliteration, making portraiture a revealing counterpart to her abstract works.

Another self-image, another point of view

This version should be distinguished from other self-portraits because its title reference denotes a separate image. The focus is the artist as both creator and subject.

The separately numbered Kusama 221 self-portrait is not interchangeable with Kusama 9. Every self-portrait is an act of selection: the artist decides what aspects of personal appearance or identity to place in view. In the context of a practice devoted to repetition and self-obliteration, the decision to focus on a recognisable individual has an especially provocative quality.

About Self-Portrait (Kusama 221): Artwork Questions

Why list two numbered Self-Portrait images separately?
They identify different artwork entries. Treating them individually respects the fact that a shared subject—the artist herself—does not imply the same composition.
