Catalogue of Isamu Noguchi's touring exhibition in 2006. Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) made art out of many different materials, from stone and metal sculptures to furniture, light fixtures, and landscape design. He was born to a Japanese father and an American mother, but his art focused on what is fundamentally important to the human spirit, transcending nationality and ethnicity. This exhibition presents 73 works by Noguchi and is divided into four sections, 'Face', 'Myth and Ethnicity', 'For Community', and 'Sun'. An original stage set, Dark Meadow, which Noguchi designed for the pioneer of modern dance, Martha Graham in 1946 is also showcased. The present catalogue includes chronology of the artist, selected bibliography, essay by Bonne Rychlak and three other essays in Japanese.
