Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) was among the most innovative American sculptors of the 20th century. His design for "Sculpture to Be Seen from Mars" (1947) anticipates the space age by several decades. Even as he created works that were far ahead of his time, Noguchi frequently found inspiration in ancient art and architecture-from Egyptian pyramids and Buddhist temples to Zen gardens and American Indian burial mounds. Isamu Noguchi, Archaic/Modern explores how the ancient world shaped this artist's vision for the future.
