Pumpkin By Naoshima Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama (born 1929). Pumpkin. Painted resin, red and black. Contemporary edition. This resin sculpture represents one of the most iconic forms in Yayoi Kusama's universe: the pumpkin, a recurring motif that runs throughout the Japanese artist's work since the 1970s. The piece has a rounded, organic silhouette, structured with multiple regular lobes. The surface is entirely covered with the famous polka dot pattern, here black on a bright red background, which embodies Kusama's visual signature: a symbol of infinity, obsession, and hypnotic repetition. The highly precise painting accentuates the volumes by playing with the varying sizes of the dots, creating a vibrant and immersive effect.
