Mirror Room — Pumpkin

Artwork · Yayoi Kusama · 1991 · installation · Hara Museum of Contemporary Art

An installation by Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929), whose “obsessional art” of infinitely repeated images has a compelling and provocative voice: a mirrored room, a canvas she has used since the 1960s, looked into from one open end and filled with soft-sculpture pumpkins — a psychedelic, almost ominously cute vision of the infinite. 1 Mason 2005, pp. 390–391, fig. 467. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
