Marking the fortieth anniversary of Isamu Noguchi’s U.S. Pavilion in the 1986 Venice Biennale, Light and Stone examines one of the artist’s most provocative exhibitions through materials from The Noguchi Museum’s collection and archive.
Isamu Noguchi was an American artist, furniture designer and landscape architect whose career spanned six decades from the 1920s. Known for his sculpture and public artworks, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, Akari light sculptures, and furniture pieces, many of which are still manufactured and sold. His work is displayed at the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in New York City as well as many other museums.
