How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Yayoi Kusama poster represents a profound exploration of the artist’s signature obsession with repetition and the concept of self-obliteration. Originally based on the 1988 work titled Love in the Night, this visual reproduction captures the dense, interconnected black shapes that define the artist’s mid-career period. The composition was prominently featured during the 2018 Tokyo retrospective and organized in conjunction with the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. The high-contrast interaction between the deep black ink and the saturated red background provides a rhythmic energy that fits a wide range of interior design themes.
Detailed Composition of the Yayoi Kusama poster
The Yayoi Kusama poster utilizes a specific graphic language of biological or cellular motifs. Unlike the uniform dots seen in her later pumpkin series, the shapes in Love in the Night are irregular, shifting between solid circles and elongated, liquid-like forms. This creates a sense of constant movement across the 200 GSM museum-grade matte paper. The archival inks used in our printing process ensure that the deep red and obsidian black remain sharp and defined, mirroring the clarity found in gallery-original prints. This Japanese avant-garde print is a testament to the artist’s ability to create complex visual depth through simple chromatic choices.
