The Kokeshi Dot — Red is a limited edition turned beech wood collectible object, designed by Becky Kemp in the spirit of Yayoi Kusama's iconic visual universe — individually numbered on the base from the edition of 1,000, making each piece a true collector's item within a single production series.
Among all the colorways in the Dot Kokeshi series, Red holds a position of particular and immediate cultural resonance. The red polka dot on white — the most iconic, most photographed, and most universally associated chromatic combination in Kusama's entire visual universe — is the signature palette of her most celebrated works: the Infinity Mirror Rooms, the pumpkin sculptures, the body and environment paintings of the 1960s, and the monumental installations that have drawn record-breaking audiences to her retrospectives at the Tate Modern, the Guggenheim, and the Centre Pompidou. In the Dot Red Kokeshi, this iconic palette is transposed onto the traditional Japanese wooden doll form with a directness and chromatic clarity that makes this edition the most immediately recognizable and collector-desirable in the series — a white dress adorned with red polka dots that captures the full playful, transcendent, and visually overwhelming energy of Kusama's dot universe in the most intimate and accessible of formats.
The Kokeshi — the traditional Japanese wooden doll of deep resonance in Japanese folk art — provides a form of serene, self-contained presence entirely consistent with the meditative and culturally rooted dimensions of Kusama's practice. Crafted in beech — a premium hardwood prized for its fine grain, smooth surface, and exceptional workability — and individually numbered on the base, each piece in this edition of 1,000 is a unique and documented collector's object, the specific number randomly distributed across shipped orders.
The object is in excellent condition.
