With Fall upon us and Halloween closing in I got incredibly excited about
this exhibition of the work of Yayoi Kusama up now in London.
Kusama is known for her polka dotted environments like this one:

And I'm very happy to say that I got to see not one but TWO of her rooms when we were in Pittsburgh at the Mattress Factory. I wrote more about that in
this post. But I love that Kusama has also brought her signature to this symbol of Fall, this season I love so much, but also she uses the pumpkin as a form of self portraiture.
Is there more contemporary art that evokes Fall?
