Isamu Noguchi Details
All things worthwhile must end as gifts. What other reason is there for art? This 1983 quote from a Noguchi prose poem opens this spectacular monograph devoted to one of the sculptor's greatest gifts; the garden museum now sited on the island of Shikoku, where Noguchi worked and communed with nature for 25 years. Preceded by a selection of elegant quotes, these large-scale photographs of Noguchi's sculptures and fertile spaces explore his former studio and refuge, and reveal why this dazzling environment is preserved for education and charity, epitomising Noguchi's claim that he made sculpture so that mankind can get along.
