Description
This comprehensive monograph explores the multifaceted career of Isamu Noguchi, one of the 20th century's most innovative artists. Spanning sculpture, ceramics, photography, architecture, design, and stage sets for modern dance and theatre performance, the book delves into Noguchi's creative process, lesser-known aspects of his practice, and his engagement with diverse mediums and cultures.
Archival photographs of Noguchi's studios offer a glimpse into his experimental approach to sculpture, while essays explore themes of harmony and dissonance that were central to his work. The book also pays tribute to Noguchi's fruitful collaborations with creatives from various industries, shedding light on an artist who embodied partnership and cooperation across artistic, political, and cultural boundaries.
With contributions from an international range of authors and a wealth of imagery, this book provides a nuanced understanding of Noguchi's diverse work, both in situ and in galleries. His own words provide critical context for understanding an artist whose entire life and career serve as a model for collaboration and cooperation.
