Pumpkin

$5,600

Description:

Yayoi Kusama’s “Pumpkin” is one of her most iconic and beloved motifs, symbolizing comfort, nostalgia, and personal identity. First appearing in her work as early as the 1940s, the pumpkin holds a deep emotional connection for Kusama, reminding her of childhood memories in rural Japan. Her pumpkin paintings and sculptures are often covered in vivid polka dots and painted in bold colors—most famously in yellow with black spots—highlighting her signature style of repetition and surreal abstraction.

The “Pumpkin” represents more than just a whimsical subject; it reflects Kusama’s themes of infinity, nature, and the merging of self with the universe. These works have been transformed into large-scale installations and sculptures around the world, such as the famous outdoor pumpkin on Naoshima Island. Through this simple yet powerful form, Kusama conveys joy, stability, and her lifelong artistic vision of turning ordinary objects into extraordinary portals to her imaginative world.
