Three massive painted bronze undulating pumpkin sculptures, each titled ‘Aspiring to Pumpkin’s Love, the Love in My Heart’, debuting a new form that transfigures the organic pumpkin shapes Kusama has reimagined over several decades.
These wall-like structures situate viewers in a space that envelops them in her characteristic polka dots.
