Isamu Noguchi: A Sculptor's World

This new edition of A Sculptor's World, Isamu Noguchi's autobiography, remains the most comprehensive statement about the sculptor and his art. Just as the jet airplane and the communications satellite represent determining technological events in the twentieth century, Isamu Noguchi helped shape art and design for the annals of American modernism. Succinctly recounted in words and illustrated with scores of images, A Sculptor's World is indispensable reading for those interested in the life and work of a bicultural artist who succeeded in his efforts to cross boundaries of traditions, cultures, and artistic disciplines. Also reprinted in this volume is the original foreword to the book by R. Buckminster Fuller, along with a new preface by Bonnie Rychlak, Curator for The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum.
