Venue Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum

When Apr 24th - Aug 29th 2021, 9:30am - 5:30pm

A special exhibition taking place at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum will look at the works of Isamu Noguchi (1904 - 1988), a Japanese-American sculpture artist and landscape architect. Noguchi's works were said to have been influenced in part by Japanese traditions and aesthetics, such as dry landscape gardens and the beautiful intricacies of tea ceremonies.

The exhibition will showcase a variety of works from throughout Noguchi's career, including the likes of "Void" (1971), "Black Sun" (1967 - 1969), and "Incarnation" (1947).

The admission price for the exhibition has yet to be determined - updates should be posted on the official event website closer to its commencement.
