    Yayoi Kusama’s Pumpkins and Fruits (1993) is a screenprint measuring 24 × 33 cm, produced in an edition of 160. The work brings together her most iconic motif, the pumpkin, with an array of fruit forms, combining natural imagery with her bold, graphic style. Vibrant colour and rhythmic repetition transform the composition into a playful yet meditative vision.
     
    In this print, the pumpkin takes centre stage, surrounded by fruits that echo its rounded shapes and dotted surfaces. The arrangement suggests both abundance and continuity, linking Kusama’s fascination with organic growth to her broader exploration of repetition, obsession, and infinity. The imagery carries a sense of vitality, while also drawing on her personal connection to the pumpkin as a symbol of comfort and memory.

  • “Polka dots are a way to infinity.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the early 1990s, Pumpkins and Fruits demonstrates Kusama’s ability to reimagine familiar subjects through her unique visual language. By pairing her emblematic pumpkin with other fruit forms, she creates a composition that merges the everyday with the universal, reaffirming her place as a leading figure in contemporary art.
