Pumpkins have been one of Yayoi Kusama’s favorite subjects since the 1980s, recurring with such frequency as to function as a kind of avatar for the artist. In describing their personal significance, she has remained characteristically elusive, saying only, "I like the essential repetitive form of pumpkins…They're like everything else I do but at the same time very humorous.”
These miniature resin pumpkins are a scaled down edition of two of the artist's pumpkins at Japan's Naoshima Island. Published in both Red & Black and Yellow & Black, they are from an unknown edition sizee. The edition was created under the direct supervision of the artist, and are presented in an elegant box that was created in collaboration with the artist's studio.
