The humble pumpkin is one of Kusama’s most beloved motifs. The origin of her distinctive yellow-and-black colour scheme, these whimsical, bulbous forms appear regularly in her paintings, prints, sculptures and installations. This work creates the illusion of a vast field of pumpkins stretching to infinity.
Join distinguished curator and art critic Akira Tatehata as he discusses the work of Yayoi Kusama and her broader significance in the Japanese and international art scenes.
