Kusama’s acclaimed presentation in the Japanese pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 1993 – which consisted of a mirrored room filled with tiny pumpkin sculptures in which she sat in colour coordinated magician’s attire – marked the beginning of the artist’s preoccupation with the pumpkin motif. Following the Biennale she went on to produce a huge, yellow pumpkin sculpture covered with an optical pattern of black dots. This pumpkin came to represent for her a kind of alter ego or self-portrait and remains one of her signature series of works.
Condition is pristine. This work is unique.
