These pumpkin sculptures depict the optical patterns of polka dot with bold colors for which Yayoi Kusama is perhaps best known. Kusama first used the pumpkin design at the 1993 Venice Biennale for the Japanese pavilion and since then it has appeared in various iterations, often created in concert with several of her other practices, such as her soft, phallic sculptures and her installations of monstrous flora.
