Summary:

"A man of inexhaustible energy and invention, the sculptor Isamu Noguchi was always in motion. His career extended for more than sixty years, during which he often worked simultaneously on many different endeavors: carving sculpture of wood and stone, creating stage sets for the dancer Martha Graham and others, designing lamps and other furniture, and producing sculptural environments in cities around the world. Ranging across this century and filled with engaging persons and places, Noguchi's story is a compelling one, told with refreshing verve and insight. Little-known documentary photographs from the artist's own archives and striking full-color images from every aspect of his multifaceted career complement the perceptive and gracefully written text." -- Back Cover
