'Pumpkin (Dark Blue)' by Yayoi Kusama is a lithograph produced in 2011. A white pumpkin, rendered entirely in Kusama's signature polka-dot patterning with dots ranging from pinpoint to coin-sized, fills the composition against a deep cobalt-blue background covered in a cracked, cellular network of white lines. The pumpkin has been one of Kusama's most persistent motifs since her childhood in Matsumoto, Japan, where she described the vegetable as a source of emotional comfort. Working across installation, sculpture, painting and performance, Kusama built a practice that moves between minimalism, surrealism and conceptual art — the pumpkin recurring across decades as both personal symbol and formal vehicle for her obsessive dot-and-net vocabulary.
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 Art Brut?
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
