{"product_id":"isamu-noguchi-fabienne-eggelhofer-barbican-catalogue","title":"Isamu Noguchi","description":"This publication accompanied Noguchi, a jointly organized and curated exhibition by Barbican Centre (London), Museum Ludwig (Köln) and Zentrum Paul Klee (Bern), in partnership with LaM – Lille Métropole Musée d’art moderne, d’art contemporain et d’art brut. At the time (2021–2023), it was the first major touring European exhibition on the Japanese American artist in twenty years.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe survey encompasses the entirety of Isamu Noguchi’s work in sculpture, ceramics, photography, architecture, design, as well as the artist’s playscapes, gardens and stage sets for modern dance and theatre performance. \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nArchival photographs of the artist’s studios offer glimpses into his experimental attitude towards sculpture. Themes of harmony and dissonance, which were central to his practice, are explored in a series of essays that consider the artist’s dual heritage, the Japanese American experience, his worldwide travel and his many influences. It also pays tribute to Noguchi’s fruitful collaborations with creatives from a range of industries, such as R. Buckminster Fuller, Martha Graham and Louis Kahn. \n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\nThroughout the monograph Noguchi’s own words provide a critical backdrop towards understanding an artist who embraced many schools of thought, and whose entire life and career set an example for partnership and cooperation across artistic, political and cultural boundaries.","brand":"shop.noguchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42380357533891,"sku":"P:4165","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5283\/6176\/files\/1284-Books-2284-Noguchi-Barbican.jpg?v=1789942237","url":"https:\/\/shop.noguchi.org\/products\/isamu-noguchi-fabienne-eggelhofer-barbican-catalogue","provider":"The Noguchi Museum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
