1978
by KUSAMA Yayoi, author
1978. KUSAMA Yayoi, author. MANHATTAN SUICIDE ADDICT. Tokyo, 1978. Paperback 8vo..... Some paper toning in the original clean and fine DW.... Has two pieces of advertising for the book laid in, but it is missing the "belly band" of which Japanese publishers are so fond. Kusama-san is truly a remarkable person... writing this self reflective "novel" in 1978, a year after she checked herself into a mental care facility.... As far as I know, she remains institutionalized and remarkably creative.... mounting an exhibition of new work in Manhattan just 2 years ago.... in her mid 90s! Images throughout the book..... Not a common book.... Not a common artist.
