Organized by the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the exhibition is making its exclusive New England debut at PEM.
The exhibition presents Noguchi as a genre-blurring artist whose sculpture, design and social consciousness shaped a lasting creative legacy. Its examination of Noguchi’s design work focuses particularly on the way he created environments through theatrical set design, furniture and inclusive public spaces, all intentionally designed to improve the way people lived.
Noguchi’s design legacy encompassed sculpture, lighting, furniture, ceramics and designs for public spaces such as gardens, playgrounds and plazas.
The exhibition also highlights Noguchi’s collaborative work and close creative relationships with modern dancer and choreographer Martha Graham, American architect R. Buckminster Fuller, and Romanian sculptor and painter Constantin Brâncuși. The presentation at PEM is made possible by Carolyn and Peter S. Lynch and The Lynch Foundation, and Karla and Jeff Kaneb.
