Reportedly the largest private sculpture collection in Australia, Pt. Leo Estate on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula today (Friday 24 November) unveiled its latest prized acquisition. Revealing the first major-scale pumpkin to be seen in the country is a landmark moment for the estate, adding a piece from arguably Japan’s most successful living artist, Yayoi Kusama, to its already impressive collection of sculptures.
Another recent major acquisition is a Henry Moore totem, Upright Motive No. 5 (1955-56), an early abstract work of the modernist master inspired by objects found in nature, such as shells and bones, and that was installed in the sculpture park last June.
