Lot 263:
Yayoi Kusama (B.1929, Japanese contemporary artist), black and yellow resin ‘Pumpkin’ sculpture. Artist stamp on underside. Approx. 4in x 3.15in. Presented in original box.Note: Known in Japan as Kabocha, Pumpkins are positive images to Kusama because they represent a cheerful piece of her troubled childhood in Matsumoto. As a young girl, Kusama spent hours drawing pumpkins. To her, pumpkins are representative of stability, comfort, and modesty 12. According to Kusama, she prefers to use pumpkins because not only are they attractive in both color and form, but they are also tender to the touch. Therefore, the inclusion of pumpkins in her artwork can be said to be due to the childhood memories that the vegetable triggers.Source: https://publicdelivery.org/yayoi-kusama-pumpkins/
