Yayoi Kusama’s giant bronze pumpkin sculpture has arrived in London’s Kensington Gardens.

The artwork, which is on view between July 9 and November 3, is Kusama’s tallest bronze pumpkin to date and stands at six metres tall (19.6ft) and 5.5 metres (18ft) in diameter.

The pumpkin is located by the Round Pond and marks the latest in a long-standing series of public artwork in the Royal Parks which currently includes Strip-Tower by German artist Gerhard Richter, situated at Serpentine South.

The Serpentine South Gallery was the location of Kusama’s first retrospective exhibition in the UK in 2000 which included paintings, collages, watercolours, sculptures, and documentation of performances and films.

In 2023 Aviva Studios, a new arts and cultural venue in Manchester, staged a show by the renowned artist called Yayoi Kusama: You, Me And The Balloons, which celebrated the artist’s inflatable artworks.
