Showing: Yayoi Kusama – “Pumpkins” @ Victoria Miro

Posted by sleepboy, September 22, 2014

Currently showing in London at Victorio Miro, Pumpkins from Yayoi Kusuma is an exhibition that features one of her most famous motifs.

Despite the familiarity of the iconic subject matter for the Japanese artist, the bronzes do represent the first time she has worked in that medium on such a large scale and they alone are […]
