About the artwork

This intriguing work by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama incorporates her iconic net motif, that recurs throughout. The work has a surreal aura, with the only recognisable imagery being three unrelated items, a single eye, a book and what appears to be a chain of sorts. The eye stares towards the viewer unblinking, forcing the viewer to confront it and meet its intense gaze. This eye could be interpreted as a link to the artist’s recurring hallucinations she experienced since childhood, which she is forced to experience with little possibility of them going away. Love Forever is similarly a nod to the artist’s 1998-99 retrospective, which travelled to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, among other venues, and solidified the Kusama’s reputation as a force in the art world. // Image size: 16x23cm Sheet size: 24x31cm screenprint Edition: 67/95 2004
