Net-No.2 Yellow is the first large yellow net from Kusama's early period infinity nets to appear at Sotheby's Spring Sales 2017 - Modern and Contemporary Art Evening sales.
While Kusama's early period nets were mostly rendered in white or red, the yellow-on-black palette on the work foreshadows the signature color schema of her iconic pumpkins. An infinity net of the same color palette and created in the same year currently belongs in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, purchased via Frank Stella. In 1960, the same year this work was created, Kusama and Mark Rothko were the only two American-based artists to be included, alongside Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein and Piero Manzoni, in a seminal exhibition of Monochrome paintings at the Stadtisches Museum in Leverkusen in Germany.
