Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin (G) For Sale

Edition

Edition of 150

Yayoi Kusama stands as one of the most influential and commercially significant artists of the contemporary era, her work commanding extraordinary presence in both institutional collections and the secondary market. Now in her tenth decade, the Japanese artist has built an unparalleled body of work defined by her obsessive exploration of pattern, infinity, and the dissolution of self into cosmos. Her pumpkin motif, which she has revisited consistently since the 1940s, represents one of her most personal and enduring subjects—a form she has described as both humble and amusing, possessing a spiritual resonance that speaks to her philosophical concerns. Pumpkin (G) emerges from Kusama's celebrated series of pumpkin screenprints, wherein she renders the gourd with her signature polka-dot patterning against vibrant grounds. The work demonstrates her masterful command of the screenprint medium, each layer building toward the optical intensity for which her practice is renowned. Executed as an edition of 150, this print is signed, numbered, dated, and titled on the front, ensuring full authentication from the artist's hand. The intimate scale of 11 x 14 3/4 inches allows for close contemplation of Kusama's meticulous dotted surface, where repetition becomes a meditative act rather than mere decoration. Kusama's prints remain highly sought after by collectors seeking entry into her practice, and works from her pumpkin series consistently perform well at auction, reflecting sustained institutional and private demand. Guy Hepner is pleased to offer this work from our New York gallery, and we invite collectors to contact us regarding acquisition.
