Discovering Noguchi
On July 24, Kendalites journeyed to NYC to visit the Noguchi Museum. A brief history of Isamu Noguchi, courtesy of Wikipedia and Art Brady:
Isamu Noguchi (November 17, 1904 – December 30, 1988) was an American artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned 6 decades, from the 1920s onward. Known for his sculpture and public artworks, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, some of which are still manufactured and sold.
In 1947, Noguchi began a collaboration with the Herman Miller company when he joined with George Nelson, Paul László and Charles Eames to produce a catalog containing what is often considered to be the most influential body of modern furniture ever produced, including the iconic Noguchi table which remains in production today. His work lives on around the world and at the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in New York City.
Art Brady also sent along photos from the Noguchi Museum, itself.
