Pumpkin, yellow
The yellow pumpkin, cast in painted resin and published in a large edition by Benesse. Roughly the size of a grapefruit, considerably heavier than it looks, and the single most recognisable object in postwar Japanese art.

Living with it
Keep it out of direct sun — the yellow is a painted surface and strong light will shift it over years. A shelf, not a windowsill.

Before you buy
Answered by Patrick & William
No. These are published editions rather than studio works, and they were not signed. Provenance is the publisher’s box and our invoice.
Occasionally, through us privately — the 30cm versions and the bronzes. Ask and we will tell you what is about.
Cut foam or a made crate depending on the object, insured door to door at what you paid. In stock items leave within two working days; you get the tracking and the courier’s name. Free UK delivery over £500, or collect from the gallery by appointment.
