Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was one of the most critically acclaimed sculptors of the twentieth century. Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, he created sculpture, gardens, furniture, lighting and interior designs, ceramics, architecture, and set designs. His work, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, set a new standard for artistic achievement.
When The Noguchi Museum opened to the public, in 1985, it was the first museum in America to be established by a living artist in his or her lifetime.
In celebration of its upcoming twenty-fifth anniversary, The Noguchi Museum presents Noguchi ReINstalled. Together with the recently completed building renovation, this special museum-wide installation revivifies the artist's original intention for the museum he designed and its display of his life's work.
Noguchi ReINstalled comprises some 200 works dating from the 1920s to the 1980s, installed in accordance with Noguchi's aesthetic vision, rather than by date, genre, style, or any other overall organizing principle. As always at the Museum, the sculpture is displayed so that proximity is not restricted by platforms, barriers, or distance, enabling visitors to both walk around the works andstudy them closely.
