Join us as we explore nearly two hundred works from Isamu Noguchi’s career. Although he declared in 1949, “I am not a designer,” the internationally acclaimed artist regularly engaged with the space-shaping possibilities of design, imagining and producing work in architecture, industrial design, ceramics, furniture, lighting, stage sets, and landscape design. With sculptural models, unrealized projects, furniture pieces, and more, this exhibition explores Noguchi as a multinational, interdisciplinary artist and designer who shaped a more open, inclusive world.
