More goodies from Yayoi Kusama—a gigantic stainless steel pumpkin in this case. Ota Fine Arts decided to give her a solo show at the event in collaboration with Victoria Miro Gallery so closed to 40 of her pieces were shown. Here behind the sculpture you can also see some of her printmaking works, which are silkscreen on canvas. In the far back the yellow organic forms from wonderland far far away is a mixed media sculpture formed with stuffed fabric.
