    Yayoi Kusama’s Lemon Squash 3 (2000) is a signed screenprint measuring 32 × 26 cm, produced in an edition of 35. The work presents a playful and surreal interpretation of the lemon, rendered with Kusama’s signature use of bold colour and repetition. By taking a familiar subject and transforming it into a patterned field, she blurs the line between the everyday and the extraordinary.
     
    The print reflects Kusama’s ability to reimagine organic forms as part of her larger visual universe. Here, the fruit is stylised into rhythmic patterns that suggest both microscopic structures and infinite expansion, themes that run throughout her practice. The combination of scale, intimacy, and vibrant surface design gives the work both immediacy and psychological depth.

  • “Accumulation is the result of my obsession, and through it I create a world of my own.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works at the turn of the millennium, Lemon Squash 3 demonstrates Kusama’s fascination with transforming domestic and natural subjects into emblems of obsession, imagination, and infinity. It is at once a whimsical image and a serious meditation on repetition and perception, embodying the dual character of Kusama’s art.
