Alice Illustrated Around the World
博客來-草間彌生X愛麗絲夢遊仙境
[Yayoi Kusama x Àilìsī Sleepwalks in Fairyland].
Translated into Chinese Wang Xin Win.
Illustrated by Yayoi Kusama.
Taipei: Mai Tian/Tsai Fong Books, 2013.
Kusama’s strange, obsessively patterned Alice illustrations have now been published in English, Japanese, Italian, and Chinese. This softcover Chinese translation was issued in an open-ended box, which reproduces her famous polka dot motif. Kusama is probably Japan’s most famous living artist. She has long been obsessed with Alice, declaring, “I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland.”
