Yayoi Kusama's most valuable artworks are typically from her "Infinity Nets" and "Pumpkin" series.
'I love pumpkins because of their humorous form, warm feeling, and a human-like quality.' —Yayoi Kusama
Infinity Nets: These are large-scale canvases covered in meticulously painted nets or dots, representing Kusama's lifelong exploration of infinity and repetition.
Pumpkins: The pumpkin motif holds personal significance for Kusama and has become an iconic symbol of her work. Sculptures and paintings featuring pumpkins often command high prices at auction.
Specific titles of highly valued works:
Infinity Nets paintings from the early 1960s are particularly sought after.
Pumpkin sculptures, especially large-scale ones in vibrant colors, are also highly valued.
