In the last decade of his life, internationally renowned artist Isamu Noguchi (1904???1988) converted his industrial studio warehouse in New York into an open-air sculpture garden and gallery-thus creating The Noguchi Museum. An intimate, reflective space in which to experience Noguchi's sculpture and design, it fulfils a vision that the artist deemed essential to his life's work. On the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary, Museum of Stones presents the first installation of contemporary artists' work throughout The Noguchi Museum. Its focus on stone, a subject and medium that very much occupied Noguchi, is fitting. Featuring over one hundred works by nearly forty artists, including Mel Bochner, Dove Bradshaw, Jimmie Durham, Yoko Ono, Gabriel Orozco, Keith Sonnier and Toshiko Takaezu, as well as examples of Paleolithic handaxes and Chinese scholars' rocks, Museum of Stones introduces new dialogues between Noguchi's treatment and presentation of stones and those of ancient and contemporary artists.
