ISAMU NOGUCHI: METAL THE MIRROR (August 28, 2026 - February 28, 2027 )
On loan from the Art Bridges Foundation, Metal the Mirror is a captivating traveling exhibition showcasing nine of Isamu Noguchi's galvanized steel sculptures from 1982-1983. With their reflective surfaces and evolving patinas, these works delve into themes of duality inspired by Noguchi's personal experience navigating his life as a Japanese American. From 1982 to 1983, Isamu Noguchi created a series of twenty-six galvanized steel sculptures, each referencing his artistic interests and practices throughout his life. These works were dipped into boiling zinc, creating surfaces that resemble rocks in a stream or layers of skin. As the steel patinas, the sculptures will continue to change over time.
“Here where finally opposites come together, I see a surprising purity. Stone is the depth, metal the mirror. They do not conflict...”
-- Isamu Noguchi
