    Yayoi Kusama’s Yellow Colored Pumpkin (1994) is a screenprint measuring 46 × 53 cm, produced in an edition of 98. Rendered in bold yellow with black polka dots, the print showcases one of Kusama’s most enduring symbols, presented here with graphic clarity and striking contrast. The composition radiates with energy, transforming a simple form into a visually powerful statement.
     
    The pumpkin has long been a motif through which Kusama expresses comfort, memory, and repetition. In this work, the fruit’s rounded form is heightened by the interplay of yellow and black, a colour pairing that creates both warmth and intensity. Rather than remaining a naturalistic image, the pumpkin becomes an emblem of persistence and creativity, bridging personal significance with universal resonance.
