Isamu Noguchi Sold at Auction Prices

Sculptor, Commercial artist, b. 1904 - d. 1988

Isamu Noguchi (Noguchi Isamu, November 17, 1904 – December 30, 1988) was an American artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward.[2] Known for his sculpture and public artworks, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, some of which are still manufactured and sold.

In 1947, Noguchi began a collaboration with the Herman Miller company, when he joined with George Nelson, Paul László and Charles Eames to produce a catalog containing what is often considered to be the most influential body of modern furniture ever produced, including the iconic Noguchi table which remains in production today.[3] His work lives on around the world and at the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in New York City.

    Est: €2,300 - €2,500

    ISAMU NOGUCHI (Los Angeles, USA 1904 - New York, USA 1988) for Vitra. Noguchi coffee table. Black painted base with sturdy glass top. Engraved top Isamu Noguchi, Vitra Design Museum. New. With original packaging. Measurements: 40 x 128 x 91 cm. Japanese-American sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi designed the Noguchi coffee table in 1944 and today it is an iconic piece of mid-century modern design. The table is a union of sculptural form and everyday function, and is built on two identical wooden elements, almost like Yin and Yang, that support the rounded top of thick, sturdy glass. Noguchi himself thought it was his best design and it is instantly recognizable today. Noguchi designed the first version of the iconic table in 1939 for A. Conger Goodyear, founder of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Furniture manufacturer Herman Miller asked Noguchi to design a similar table for his own collection; described as a functional sculpture, the Noguchi table went on sale in the United States in the late 1940s. In Europe, the table is manufactured by Vitra. Since 2003 (Herman Miller) and 2010 (Vitra Design Museum) respectively, the designer's signature has been engraved on the glass table tops to distinguish them from fakes. Isamu Noguchis career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward. Known for his sculptures and works of public art, Noguchi also designed set designs for several Martha Graham productions and several mass-produced lamps and furniture, some of which are still being made and sold. In 1947, Noguchi began a collaboration with the Herman Miller Company, when he joined George Nelson, Paul László and Charles Eames to produce a catalog containing what is often considered the most influential set of modern furniture ever produced, including the iconic Noguchi table, which is still in production today. His work lives on around the world and in the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and the Garden Museum in New York.

    ISAMU NOGUCHI (Los Angeles, USA 1904 - New York, USA 1988) FOR VITRA. The Noguchi Coffee Table. Blackpainted base with durable glass top. Top engraved Isamu Noguchi, Vitra Design Museum. New. With original packaging. Measurements: 40 x 128 x 91 cm. The Japanese American sculptor and designer Isamu Noguchi designed The Noguchi coffee table in 1944 and today it is an iconic piece of Mid-Century Modern design. The table is a marriage of sculptural form and everyday function and is built on two identical wooden elements, almost like Yin and Yang, which support the rounded tabletop made of thick, durable glass. Noguchi himself thought it was his finest design and it is now instantly recognisable. Noguchi designed the first version of the iconic table in 1939 for A. Conger Goodyear, the founder of New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The furniture manufacturer Herman Miller asked Noguchi to design a similar table for his own collection – described as a functional sculpture, the Noguchi table was released in the United States in the late 1940s. In Europe, the table is manufactured by Vitra. Since 2003 (Herman Miller) and 2010 (Vitra Design Museum) respectively, the designer’s signature has been engraved in the glass table tops to distinguish them from counterfeits. Isamu Noguchis career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward. Known for his sculpture and public artworks, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, some of which are still manufactured and sold. In 1947, Noguchi began a collaboration with the Herman Miller company, when he joined with George Nelson, Paul László and Charles Eames to produce a catalog containing what is often considered to be the most influential body of modern furniture ever produced, including the iconic Noguchi table which remains in production today. His work lives on around the world and at the Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum in New York City.

It's form can also be interpreted as a bridge, which Isamu Noguchi represents philanthropically between the United States and Japan. Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) Atomic Haystack - N°8/18 Sculpture Acier galvanisé Édition Gemini G.E.L., limitée à 18 exemplaires Signée et datée 'IN 82' en bas Plaque de l'éditeur 'Isamu Noguchi Atomic Haystack 8/18 Isamu Noguchi Foundation 1983' sur la base Modèle créé en 1982/83 H 122,5 × L 122 × P 38 cm Note : Cette oeuvre, dans la continuité de l'effort de mémorialité de Isamu Noguchi à travers ses sculptures, commémore le désastre humain causé par Hiroshima et Nagasaki. Sa forme d'arche évoque, selon la fondation Noguchi, les sculptures funéraires japonaises traditionnelles, mais également une boule de feu atomique dans les premières millisecondes d'une explosion. Cette forme pourrait également être vue comme celle d'un pont, celui qu'incarne de manière philanthropique Isamu Noguchi entre le Japon et les Etats-Unis.
