Isamu Noguchi – Sculptural Design
Special Exhibition
June 9–September 5, 2005
SAM Simonyi Special Exhibition Galleries


Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) created groundbreaking works of fine art and decorative art—expanding the modern definition of sculpture, furniture and landscape architecture, as well as challenging ideas about the unique art object and the possibilities of mass-produced design.

In this exhibition Noguchi’s achievements are refracted through the work of renowned director and installation artist Robert Wilson (b. 1941), who has created an aesthetic, intellectual and sensory experience that both explicates and enriches Noguchi’s creations.
