Isamu Noguchi: Ways of Discovery Exhibition

At the special exhibition, you can explore the essence of Noguchi’s works, the journey he made through his art to reach his final work: his stone sculptures. Noguchi was inspired by Japanese traditions and Japanese dry gardens and tea ceremony aesthetics helped show him the depth of sculpture.
