草間彌生『南瓜』
草間彌生(Yayoi Kusama)さんの有名な作品。
直島と言えばこの黄色いかぼちゃを思い出す人も多い。
島民も観光の方々も「黄かぼちゃ」「黄色かぼちゃ」と呼んでいる事が多いけれど、本当の作品名は『南瓜』。
1994年に赤かぼちゃと同時期に作られました。
1994年は草間彌生(Yayoi Kusama)さんが野外彫刻を制作し始めた頃だそう。
聞いたところによると当時はまだまだ日本では今のようになく、ベネッセさんの持ち物だったものを、数百万円で直島町に寄贈されたと聞いた事があります。
今となっては信じられない価格ですが、結果たくさんの方が直島で知ってもらうきっかけとなりました。
アートは値段が高いからいいというものでもなくたくさんの人に素敵だなとか面白いなとかなにか感じてもらう事で価値(お金ではない)が生まれるのではないかと思います。
作品のスペック
高さ約2,000mm(2m)
直径約4,000mm(4m)
モルタルに塗装
場所:積浦(つむうら)通称ツム
台風で流された黄かぼちゃ草間彌生『南瓜』は島民とベネッセの方で守られている。
引用:twitter リカ@rica_moonwalkerさん
台風のある日、黄かぼちゃのヘタが折れてしまったのか海に流されてしまった。
美術館のスタッフさんも島民や直島町役場の方々など、かなり困られたのではないでしょうか?
台風の嵐の後、海に出た漁師さんが「沖に流されていた」と海の波間に浮かぶ、「かぼちゃのヘタ」を拾ってくださり
ベネッセハウスのスタッフさんが船で引き取りにいったそうです。
今では台風の前には島民の方々で避難させている。
今では流されたり島の宝である『南瓜』を事前に避難させているとのこと。
台風の日にふときになったので調べてみると、島民の方々のご協力で避難してくださってる!
うわ!黄色かぼちゃ取れるんだ!と驚きました笑
これはレア画像ですね♪
黄色いレインコートを着ておられるのがまたなんだかアートに見えてしまう。
島の方々やベネッセの方々で大切に守ってくださってるからこそ私達がアートを楽しめると感謝感謝です。
草間彌生(Yayoi Kusama)さんのドットについて
草間彌生自伝「無限の網」(作品社)
『「クサマ・ハプニング」のトレード・マークの水玉模様。
赤や緑や黄の水玉模様は地球のマルでも太陽のマルでも月のマルでもいい。
形式や意味付けはどうでもいいのである。
人体に水玉模様を描くことによって、その人は自己を消滅し、宇宙の自然にかえるのだ。』
幼少期からの水玉、ドットの原点
10歳のころから統合失調症を止んでしまい、幻覚や幻聴などの症状が幼い彼女を襲ったそうです。
そんな症状から逃れるために、それら幻覚や幻聴を絵に書き留め始めました。
草間彌生を代表するといっても過言ではない、「水玉」のモチーフの原点です。
2016年(平成28年度)文化勲章を受賞

女性画家では四人目。
アメリカタイム誌で「影響力がある100人」に選ばれる
黄かぼちゃ草間彌生『南瓜』撮影は早朝か17時以降がおすすめ

直島のシンボルにもなりつつある黄色かぼちゃ『南瓜』。
美術館がOPENしている10:00~16:30頃まで大変賑わうので土日祝日は撮影の行列ができていることも。
宿泊される方は早朝がおすすめ!
または帰りのフェリーを夜にして夕方の夕焼けの黄かぼちゃは格別です。
