Kusama, Yayoi | Pumpkin (NGV), 2025 — available on Composition Gallery

Hand painted zinc alloy metal pumpkin with perforated dots. Numbered.

Pumpkin (NGV) (2025) by Yayoi Kusama is a hand-painted sculpture in zinc alloy metal, measuring 12 × 12 cm (4.7 × 4.7 in). Produced in an edition of 250, each piece is numbered and presented in its original packaging. The sculpture takes the form of Kusama’s iconic pumpkin, here rendered in glossy yellow with bold black dots, some of which are perforated to create depth and play with shadow. Continuing her lifelong fascination with pumpkins as symbols of comfort and personal obsession, this edition merges whimsy with Kusama’s signature exploration of repetition and infinity.

Yayoi Kusama (Japan, 1929) is a pioneering artist known for her avant-garde vision, using polka dots, mirrors, and immersive installations to explore themes of infinity and self-obliteration. Her 'Infinity Rooms' and bold, colorful works have redefined contemporary art, influencing pop art and minimalism. Kusama’s art blends obsession with beauty and transcendence, making her globally celebrated.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots.

- Yayoi Kusama

Celebrated for her liberal and multi-faceted approach to creation, Yayoi Kusama is a prominent artist who works primarily across the mediums of installation and sculpture, as well as performance, poetry and painting – Kusama has a unique style with works spanning minimalism, surrealism, conceptual art and abstract expression. Among Kusama's acclaimed works is Grand Orgy to Awaken the Dead, one among many highly public ‘happenings’, in which naked participants were covered in a range of brightly coloured polka-dots; these dots, as well as the theme of infinity, became signature traits of her art – Kasuma has commented on the repetitive nature of her creativity in describing herself as an ‘obsessive artist’. Kusama counts fellow artists Eva Hesse and Donald Judd as close friends and influences, and her work has also been of inspiration to Andy Warhol and the Pop Art style. (Artist website)

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
