Yayoi Kusama — Hat
Yayoi Kusama

Hat

A bronze hat rendered in rich green-brown patina, this sculpture exemplifies Yayoi Kusama's lifelong fascination with everyday objects transformed through artistic reinterpretation. Cast in 1993 from a 1988 conception, the work belongs to a limited edition of thirty, bearing the artist's incised signature and numbering on its underside. The accompanying signed card from Gallery Kura further authenticates this intimate yet quietly compelling object, which reflects Kusama's enduring engagement with form, repetition, and the elevation of the mundane.

Medium
Bronze with green brown patina, incised 'YAYOI KUSAMA' and '1988' (the work's conception date), stamped '93' (the cast date) and numbered 15/30, all on the underside, further signed in black ink on an accompanying card from Gallery Kura.
