Highlights from the Collection: Iconic Display

The excerpted installations are ones that have proven epochal in shaping the critical interpretation and public perception of specific bodies of Noguchi's work--for better and for worse. They include Noguchi's participation in Fourteen Americans at MoMA (1946); his first Japanese exhibition, which took place in a Tokyo department store (1950); an installation by the architect Arata Isozaki for the Seibu Museum of Art (1985); and contemporaneous attempts, through exhibitions and photographs, to make sense of one of his largest and least well-understood bodies of work--the 26 galvanized steel editions he made for Gemini G.E.L. in the early 1980s.
