Born as Isamu Noguchi in Los
Angeles (1904-1988), son of a Japanese father and an American
mother, he combined the best of both cultures in his works.
As a youth in Japan he had an apprenticeship with a traditional
Japanese carpenter that enabled him to create his famous
table for the home of A. Conger Goodyear, President of
the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He said “any
material born into space is sculpture” and he combined
materials of different kinds to create true works of art.
