日本艺术家Yayoi Kusama为一套限量版滑板新增了四种版面设计。滑板上画着其标志性圆点图案，这批滑板将在纽约现代美术馆的商店（Museum of Modern Art Design Store）出售。

斑点滑板仅限于在纽约现代美术馆商店（MoMA Design Store）出售，滑板下侧的图案由Kusama手工绘制。

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has added four designs to a collection of limited-edition skateboard decks, sold at the Museum of Modern Art Design Store in New York, which are covered in her signature polka dots.
The Dots Skateboards are exclusive to the MoMA Design Store, and feature patterns that Kusama hand-painted onto the undersides of the wooded decks.



滑板有两种颜色组合，即白底红点或黄底黑点。其中每种颜色又包括大圆点或小圆点两种。

该设计是Kusama的“点”系列艺术作品的创新系列，自20世纪50年代以来，她将彩色圈圈应用于很多设计之中，其中既有人体艺术，也有Philip Johnson的玻璃屋。

The boards come in two colour combinations: red dots on a white deck, or black dots on a yellow background. Both options are available with large or small spots.
The designs form a continuation of Kusama's "dot" series of artworks, for which she has applied circles of colour to everything from naked bodies to Philip Johnson's Glass House since the 1950s.



她自称，对圆点的痴迷带来了各种各样的身临其境般的设计思路。既有房间内的装饰墙壁、地板、天花板，也有各种物品，而房间内则使用了单一的色调喷涂而成。

她设计的很多作品在世界各地的博物馆和画廊都进行展览，其中就有纽约David Zwirner画廊、丹麦Louisiana博物馆和伦敦Victoria Miro画廊。

Her self-proclaimed obsession with polka dots has also resulted in a variety of immersive installations, where they decorate walls, floors, ceilings and objects in rooms that are otherwise painted in a single hue.
These have been exhibited at museums and galleries around the world, including David Zwirner in New York, Louisiana in Denmark, and Victoria Miro in London.



Kusama的滑板遵循了她以前的作品风格，其中就有2000年的名为Triptych的作品，其灰色和白色几何图案参考了Infinity Nets展品，同时还有在1994年创作的“Yellow Trees”黄底黑点图案。

纽约现代美术馆商店出售多种滑板，它们装饰着像Andy Warhol和Jean-Michel Basquiat这样的著名艺术家的作品。每块滑板都由加拿大枫木制成，但没有轮子。

Kusama's skateboards follow previous deck artwork she has created. These include grey-and-white geometric patterns in 2000 called Triptych, which reference her Infinity Nets exhibits, and designs with black dots on yellow backgrounds called Yellow Trees in 1994.
MoMA Design Store sells a variety of skateboards, adorned with works by well-known artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Each deck is made from Canadian seven-ply maple wood and comes without wheels.



Kusama现年89岁，她居住在日本的精神病院，仍然从事艺术工作。近期作品是在皇后区（Queens）一座被飓风破坏的仓库里散布的1500个镜面球。

去年，因为游客在她的作品前拍照逗留太久，洛杉矶布洛德博物馆（The Broad museum）甚至限制了游客在其作品之前的拍照时间。

Kusama, 89, voluntarily resides in a psychiatric institution in Japan, where she continues to work on art projects. For a recent installation, she scattered 1,500 mirrored balls across a hurricane-damaged warehouse in Queens.
Last year, The Broad museum in Los Angeles had to impose a 30-second "selfie rule" at an exhibition of her work, because visitors were taking too long posing in her immersive pieces.
