  • “Pumpkins bring about poetic peace in my mind.”

     — Yayoi Kusama

    As with many of her editioned works from the early 2000s, Pumpkin (RB-B) demonstrates Kusama’s ability to reinvent her central motif across formats and scales. The print reaffirms the pumpkin’s place at the heart of her practice, a subject through which she continues to explore obsession, infinity, and the boundless possibilities of art.
