'A Pumpkin YB-A (Kusama 325)' by Yayoi Kusama is a screen-print from 2004, measuring 33 × 38.5 cm. A single squat pumpkin rendered in amber-gold sits centrally against a near-black ground. Its ridged lobes are covered in densely packed dots that graduate from small to large, while the background fills with a continuous network of irregular, cell-like outlines — both patterns printed in the same gold against dark ink. The pumpkin is one of Kusama's most persistent motifs, rooted in her childhood in Matsumoto, Japan, where she grew up around her family's plant nursery. From her early career through to her late practice in Tokyo, the form has appeared across painting, sculpture, and print, consistently treated with the repetitive dot and net patterning she has described as central to her experience of visual hallucination. The work is hand-signed and hand-numbered in pencil below the image, from a numbered edition.
Yayoi Kusama (Japan, 1929–2026) was a pioneering artist known for her avant-garde vision, using polka dots, mirrors, and immersive installations to explore themes of infinity and self-obliteration. Her Infinity Rooms and bold, colourful works became landmarks of contemporary art, while her practice intersected with and influenced developments in Pop Art and Minimalism. Kusama’s art combined obsession, repetition, beauty, and transcendence, making her one of the most internationally celebrated artists of her generation.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
