In Yayoi Kusama's Little Mermaid, a "symbol of all good hearts and of love"

"Her skin was as soft and tender as a rose petal, and her eyes were as blue as the deep sea, but like all the others she had no feet. Her body ended in a fish tail." The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen & Yayoi Kusama: A Fairy Tale of Infinity and Love Forever combines a new, modernized translation of Andersen's original tale with drawings by celebrated Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama—whose work will be on view in dialogue with the natural world April 11–October 31, 2021, at the New York Botanical Gardens. Beautifully produced with an embossed, spot-varnished cover, vellum jacket and exquisite paper and printing, this book has been hard to keep in stock or in print due to high demand and rave reviews in media outlets like the Huffington Post, i-D/Vice, New York Magazine/The Cut and many more.
