Screenprint in colours, on wove paper. Signed, numbered, dated and titled on the front Yayoi Kusama’s Pumpkin (G) (1992) is a color screenprint that transforms one of the artist’s most recognizable motifs into a rhythmic, immersive pattern. The pumpkin is rendered through dense networks of black polka dots set against vivid green, creating a pulsating surface that appears both organic and hallucinatory. Surrounding crack-like lines extend the visual texture beyond the form itself, merging object and background into a continuous field. Kusama has returned repeatedly to the pumpkin throughout her career, viewing it as a symbol of comfort, stability, and personal memory rooted in her childhood in rural Japan. The print reflects her enduring exploration of repetition, infinity, and psychological space through deceptively simple imagery.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
