For Yayoi Kusama, the pumpkin is akin to what the Campbell’s Soup can is to Warhol: an everyday comestible elevated to the status of fine art, through an artist’s own creative skill and vision. She has created sculptures and paintings, jewellery and clothing, as well as vast infinity rooms all inspired by the pumpkin motif for which she is now renowned for.

The Artist

Yayoi Kusama

Avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama works in many different mediums, including sculpture, painting, performance, books, poems and installation. Her impact can be seen in a wide range of creative movements, including minimalism, pop art, feminist and environment art, and she is viewed as one of Japan’s most influential living artists. Although she trained at the Kyoto Municipal School of Arts and Crafts in the traditional Japanese painting style of Nihonga in 1948, she quickly turned her back on these established artistic conventions and developed her own unique abstract, conceptual style. The major motif in her work is polka dots. Suffering hallucinations since she was a child, the polka dots are a representation of this experience and, for Kusama, the sign of infinity.
