Updated 26 days ago
You probably know Black Sun, the beloved sculpture in front of Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park. But how well do you know its sculptor, Isamu Noguchi? From California to Japan, from New York to Paris to Beijing, Noguchi was among the most cosmopolitan artists of the 20th century. His exquisite sensitivity to form and void helped him shape spaces in wildly varying mediums, whether he was carving stone, creating sets for Martha Graham, or designing furniture.
