A visual icon of Yayoi Kusama’s poetic universe, the pumpkin is one of her most celebrated and beloved subjects. This resin sculpture, complete with its original packaging, offers a refined interpretation of the motif in Kusama’s signature red and white color scheme.
Her connection to pumpkins dates back to childhood in rural Japan, where she would walk through the fields with her grandfather and became fascinated by the fruit’s simple, organic form.
With a diameter of 7.5 cm and a height of 9.5 cm, this small sculpture encapsulates the essence of Kusama’s vision: a perfect balance of form, gesture, and memory.
