Yayoi Kusama’s Trippy Illustrations for ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’

Share:

“I, Kusama, am the modern Alice in Wonderland,” declares the dot-crazed Japanese artist in a new edition of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and we’re inclined to agree. We checked out the prolific Japanese artist’s awesome retrospective at the Whitney last week, and a stop in the museum’s gift shop led us to discover yet another treat: Alice in Wonderland has been given the Kusama dot treatment in a charming little book, which came out earlier this year. We think this is pretty much the perfect pairing, and if you do too, click through to check out a few pages from the book, and then be sure to check out this wonderful video to see even more!
