The pumpkin is Kusama's most personal motif, rooted in childhood memories of the vegetables growing in her family's seed nursery in Matsumoto, Nagano — a humble agricultural subject that she has elevated, over the course of seven decades, into one of the most recognisable images in contemporary art. In yellow and black it glows; in black and white it reveals its formal logic most clearly: the obsessive dot pattern, the bulbous segmented form, the flat graphic outline that contains and liberates simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe dot is never merely decorative in Kusama's practice. It is the visual expression of her psychological experience — the hallucinations that began in childhood, in which flowers spoke to her, dots multiplied across every surface, and the boundary between herself and the world dissolved. Art-making, for Kusama, has always been a form of self-therapy: the act of covering a surface with dots externalises the internal, fixes the hallucination on paper, and in doing so provides relief from its pressure. The pumpkin covered in dots is therefore simultaneously a vegetable, a self-portrait, a symptom, and a cure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProduced in an edition of 200 with the kind authorization of the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo — one of Japan's most prestigious contemporary art institutions and a long-standing guardian of Kusama's legacy — this lithograph carries the institutional imprimatur of a museum-authorised publication. Typography is printed on the verso. Kusama's work is held in the collections of MoMA, the Tate, the Pompidou, and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; her pumpkin works at auction regularly achieve six and seven figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003cbr\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003cbr\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e➡️ \u003ca title=\"Collection Kusama\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/yayoi-kusama?_pos=1\u0026amp;_psq=yayoi\u0026amp;_ss=e\u0026amp;_v=1.0\"\u003eSee all available works by Yayoi Kusama\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e➡️ \u003ca title=\"Contact\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eContact us for any question\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Yayoi Kusama lithograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original lithograph from an edition of 200, published with the authorization of the Mori Art Museum, Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e200 impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho authorized this edition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mori Art Museum, Tokyo — one of Japan's most prestigious contemporary art institutions and a long-standing institutional supporter of Kusama's practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the significance of the pumpkin in Kusama's work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pumpkin is Kusama's most personal motif — rooted in childhood memories of her family's seed nursery, elevated over seven decades into one of the most recognisable images in contemporary art.
