A two-volume archival excavation of Noguchiâ?Ts enduring relationship with GreeceNoguchi and Greece, Greece and Noguchi examines the relationship between one of the 20th centuryâ?Ts most celebrated artists, Isamu Noguchi (1904â?"88), and the Mediterranean country he regularly visited for decades through the lens of Objects of Common Interest (OoCI). This two-volume set considers the influence of Greek culture on Noguchiâ?Ts work, and the metamorphosing identity he established from engaging with multiple cultures, diverse practitioners and a variety of mediums. Letters, photographs, sketches and words from the artist himselfâ?"some never seen before nowâ?"reveal the intimate relationship Noguchi had with Greece. New writings explore the Japanese American interdisciplinarianâ?Ts creative community, including futurist Buckminster Fuller and choreographer Martha Graham; while contemporary visual essays reinterpret Noguchiâ?Ts enduring legacy across todayâ?Ts design and art practices.
