Press Release

Lever House presents a year-long public presentation of work by Isamu Noguchi (1904–88) across the landmark modernist building at 390 Park Avenue, New York, designed by Gordon Bunshaft (1909–90) in 1952. The exhibition, ‘Isamu Noguchi at Lever House’, is presented in collaboration with White Cube, The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum, BGRE and WatermanCLARK.

About the Artist

One of the most significant artists of the 20th century, Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a resolute modernist whose timeless work blended ancient and contemporary ideas. An itinerant, cultural polymath, he questioned defined artistic categories and the prevailing agendas of his time, embracing notions of globalism and anticipating ideas of relational aesthetics by several decades. Primarily a sculptor, Noguchi’s expansive, interdisciplinary practice included public projects, architecture, gardens, playgrounds, ceramics, furniture, lighting and set design, all formulated by a deep connection to nature and to the poetics of space.

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
