    Yayoi Kusama’s Pumpkin (White) (1992) is a screenprint measuring 72 × 60 cm, produced in an edition of 120. The work presents one of the artist’s most celebrated motifs, the pumpkin, rendered in a crisp monochrome palette. The simplicity of the white background heightens the dotted surface of the fruit, allowing its rhythmic patterning to dominate the composition with hypnotic intensity.
     
    In this work, the pumpkin appears both familiar and otherworldly. The stark contrast of black dots against the white ground transforms the natural form into a field of abstraction, echoing Kusama’s fascination with repetition, infinity, and psychological depth. At once playful and profound, the image reflects her enduring attachment to pumpkins, which she has described as sources of both comfort and poetic inspiration.

  • Pumpkins bring about poetic peace in my mind.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of Kusama’s editioned works from the early 1990s, Pumpkin (White) translates her signature motifs into a highly collectable print format. Its refined palette and bold patterning encapsulate the artist’s ability to merge the ordinary and the infinite, turning a simple vegetable into a timeless emblem of endurance and imagination.
