Screenprint in colours, on Arches wove paper. 'Pumpkin (YY)' by Yayoi Kusama is a 1996 screen-print measuring 32.4 × 40 cm, hand-signed and editioned below the image. A single large pumpkin, rendered in vivid amber-orange, sits centrally against a deep black ground. The surface of the pumpkin is covered in graduated black polka dots arranged in vertical columns that follow the vegetable's ribbed form, while the background is filled with an interlocking web of irregular amber cells — a net pattern that holds the same visual language as the foreground figure. Kusama first adopted the pumpkin as a recurring motif in the 1940s, drawn to what she described as its humble, human quality. The dotted surface is inseparable from her broader obsession with repetitive mark-making, rooted in the hallucinatory experiences she has spoken about throughout her career. 'Pumpkin (YY)' belongs to a series of pumpkin screen-prints produced in the 1990s that brought this imagery to a wider audience during Kusama's international resurgence.

What is Environmental Art?
Environmental art is a collective term that refers to a wide range of artistic practices and works that engage with historical and ecological themes. The term often encompasses ecological concerns, although it is not exclusively defined by them. Environmental art acknowledges and appreciates the early history of the environmental art movement, including works with activist themes and those celebrating the connection between nature and the artist through the use of natural materials.
