From Japan to America and back: in his new book, Fausto Gilberti gives the floor to Yayoi Kusama, who tells her story in the first person.

Born in Matsumoto, Yayoi has loved drawing since she was a child (even things that others don’t see) and she flies to New York to become an artist.

Her art astonishes the audience with always new ideas: Yayoi fills large canvases with grids of dots, uses her happenings to deliver important messages, and designs clothes to be worn by two people... Creating her works makes her feel good, no matter their form: from the famous pumpkins to rooms full of lights and mirrors that reflect everything infinitely.

After the books dedicated to Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Marcel Duchamp, and Lucio Fontana, the series grows with Yayoi Kusama, in which the artist Fausto Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art.

"On a day in May many years ago, the artist Piero Manzoni placed his feces in a metal can, thus creating his most famous work..."

This is a true story. It’s the story of Piero Manzoni. Born in Soncino on July 13, 1933, and lived in Milan until February 1963. Piero left us works full of irony and a wonderful sense of the absurd, playful and light-hearted like a child’s game. Fausto Gilberti tells us these stories just as they are, without burdening them with unnecessary explanations, managing to convey his passion for this great 20th-century artist who made art his life and his life a work of art.

In the same series, in which the artist Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art, we find the stories of Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, and Banksy.

My name is Marina Abramović, and before I tell you my story, I want you to close your eyes with me for a few seconds.

For Marina Abramović, who has been passionate about art since childhood, painting was not enough.

She was fascinated by the possibility of creating with anything, with fire, with air, with smoke, and even with the human body. So she began to perform in front of audiences with performances all over the world coming to be seen by millions.

The volume collects the entire corpus of Gastone Novelli's writings drawn up from 1943 to 1968, both those that have remained unpublished until today, and those already published by Achille Perilli in 1976 in a monographic issue of the Grammatica magazine.

A collection of texts that crosses the history of artistic and political Italy in the second half of the twentieth century and at the same time offers an unfiltered account of the life of this figure, who was not only a painter and artist, but also a teacher, a fervent polemic, publisher, writer and political activist.
