yup, straight from Naoshima!

I’m interested in purchasing the red/black pumpkin. Any options besides EBay?

I think currently Ebay is the only option, or a trip to Japan or if you have friends there?
Check with sellers on Ebay from Japan.. ask the proof of purchase.

How many years ago did you buy the blk/red one? It wasn’t available when I was there. So even a trip to Japan might not help. Ebay may be a better bet or a Japanese friend who can help.

Black & Red is from 2019. I have friends there in Japan that help me sorting out the Japanese orders!

There was an auction today with two original pumpkins from Yayoi in 1990... they sold for $1000 and 1200+25% commission + tax + $50 shipment. If I didn't spend too much this past few days I would have gone surely for one.

Ah ok, maybe it was just out of stock when I was there. I was there the year before. Don’t need much of an excuse to return to Japan though, so hopefully once it’s possible to go again I’ll go pumpkin hunting...

It seams they raised the price of these at the MOMA store too!
I remember them being two hundred something...

The graphic novel about her life is excellent.

I'm reluctantly putting the above up for sale as I've been on a bit of a spending spree and need some cash. Details below: 

Artist: Yayoi Kusama 
Title: Pumpkin (RT) 1996
Dimensions: 40cm x 32cm to sheet 
From edtion of 120 (+12 AP) signed and numbered recto. 
Price: SOLD OBO


The conditon is very good with bright colours and no material defects. Framed with art glass. The market for her pumpkins is very strong at the moment, another impression from this edition sold for around £28,000 all in at Mallet in Japan in March.

Payment by bank transfer, collection from High Wycombe or Stanmore. Can ship at buyers expense.

[LJCal]

Couple of offers but nothing firm as yet. Going to leave this out there for a few days then may go down auciton route.

Lovely print!
Saw an exhibition of hers in Vancouver a couple of years ago. It was really interesting.

I just picked up this whopper from Tate modern for 350 shop.tate.org.uk/yayoi-kusama-large-soft-sculpture-pumpkin/10280.html - lots of other things from here too all just added to the site.

Side note, does anyone know how to get tickets it's all sold out!

Also the MoMA pumpkins said they'd restock "Estimated in stock Tue Jun 29 2021"

More tickets in September, didn't even know they were available. Slightly annoying as we hade some for the cancelled dates.

Oh I’m sure they’ll restock soon.
They’ve been selling them for a long time and always restock.
Hope they don’t raise the prices (I paid ¥23.500).

Just received this - it's so big I didn't realize, I misread the measurements, oops....

[Buttercup NYC]

These, and other fun tidbits, are available online at the New York Botanical Garden Gift Shop, where she is currently exhibiting. It looks like they ship internationally as well!

I first saw an Infinity Room at the great Louisiana in Copenhagen just before she exploded. Truly amazing.

[artzzzy]

Her infinity rooms are some of the most mind blowing artistic experiences I’ve had over the years.

My favorite was the small tunnel at Victoria Miro a couple of years ago.

The one at the Tate looks amazing too.
Never seen this one before.

Will make sure I go see it next time I’m in London.
Have to book way in advance because I heard it’s sold out for the next few months!
