🎉 Happy Birthday, イサムノグチ先生! 🎂 Born on this day in 1904, we celebrate the legendary Isamu Noguchi, whose Public Art Fund "Unidentified Object" marked his first public installation in New York City. Standing 11.5 feet tall and carved from black basalt, this sculpture was mounted on a 15-ton granite base at Doris C. Freedman Plaza in centralparknyc. Noguchi’s “love affair with stone” and his deep connection to the earth are reflected in this iconic piece, emphasizing his vision of art as part of the human experience. Known as “the purest of living sculptors,” his legacy continues to inspire us to see art as an integral part of our environment. #PublicArtFund #PublicArtFundNY #IsamuNoguchi 📸: Donna Svennevik
