Born on this day: Isamu Noguchi
One of the most significant artists of the 20th century, Isamu Noguchi (1904–88) was an idealist whose timeless work blended ancient and modern ideas.
Primarily a sculptor, Noguchi’s expansive, interdisciplinary practice included public projects, gardens, playgrounds, furniture, lighting and set design.
‘I don’t have much faith in objects. I tend to believe in the space around an object, or in non-material things.’ – Isamu Noguchi
