クリスティーズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (クリスティーズInstagram)「Yayoi Kusama's 'Dotted Pumpkin (Yellow)' brings together the artist's most recognizable motifs — pumpkins, dots, mirrors, and the notion of infinity. This work belongs to a series of uniquely coloured aluminium sculptures, collectively entitled 'Reach Up to the Universe'.⠀ .⠀ Notable within the series for its two-toned palette, this work dates from 2010, marking the culmination of a triumphant decade that saw Kusama take her place on the international stage.⠀ .⠀ Kusama's fascination with pumpkins can be traced back to her childhood in Japan, where her family ran a wholesale agricultural business. The pumpkin's 'humorous form' spoke to her in the most 'animated manner' inspiring an almost anthropomorphic presence in her work.⠀ .⠀ Over the years, Kusama came to conceive of the pumpkin as an extension of her own being. Here, her alter-ego — the pumpkin — is reborn in a shimmering blaze of light, colour and illusion.⠀ .⠀ Yayoi Kusama (B. 1929), 'Reach Up to the Universe - Dotted Pumpkin (Yellow), 2010. Estimate: HK$8,500,000-15,000,000 / US$1,200,000-1,900,000.⠀ .⠀ 20th Century: Hong Kong to New York — 2 December .⠀ @christiesasia #yayoikusama #kusama #kusamapumpkin #contemporaryart #sculpture #infinitynet #polkdadots⠀」11月21日 14時08分
