	Noguchi Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Noguchi Museum displays a comprehensive collection of artwork by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988).
		In 1981, the Isamu Noguchi Foundation purchased adjacent land for what would first be called the "Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum," which opened in 1985.
		The museum adheres to Noguchi's vision for how his work should be displayed, including placement of the sculptures and the eschewing of the usual labels adjacent to each work.

	The Renovated Noguchi Museum - Wired New York Forum
		Were it not for the workers' putting finishing touches on the museum and garden last week for the reopening on Saturday, it would have been hard to tell that the institution had undergone a two-and-a-half-year $13.5 million renovation.
		While Noguchi was one of Long Island City's art pioneers, establishing a studio there in 1961, his museum is now part of what has become a neighborhood of cultural institutions.
		Noguchi was one of the 20th century's most versatile artists, and to bring the full range of his activities into view simultaneously could be revelatory.

	Noguchi Museum reopened after overhaul - (United Press International) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Noguchi Museum was opened by the artist in 1985, three years before his death, in a former photo-engraving plant built in the 1920s located across the street from the sculptor's Queen's home and studio.
		This is a show of nearly 100 works that clearly illustrates Noguchi's genius for crossing disciplines and cultures, a reflection of his own dual heritage as son of a Japanese poet father and American writer mother.
		Jenny Dixon, director of the museum, noted that care was taken to keep the museum as simple as Noguchi conceived it with white-painted brick walls, exposed ceiling beams, worn gray concrete floors and large industrial windows.

	artnet.com Magazine Features - Noguchi at 100
		The Noguchi centenary was recently celebrated in New York with a wide-ranging exhibition at the Whitney Museum, Oct 28, 2004-Jan. 16, 2005 (the show opens at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., Feb. 10-May 8, 2005).
		Simultaneously, the Noguchi Museum in Queens has mounted an exhibition of the stage designs the sculptor created for the dancer and impresario Martha Graham during a collaboration that spanned over three decades.
		That approach was demonstrated by a Noguchi playground design of the period, which was meant to bring urban children closer to the feel of the earth.

		Noguchi designed products for everyday living and the Japanese bark paper and bamboo ribbed lamps he called his Akari Light Sculptures can stand over six feet high but collapse into a tiny box.The idea for these lanterns which he devised in the fifties came from that prop from Penitente.

		Mason: She had Noguchi’s fence where she put her leg up and looked at the world from there and raised her hand over her eyes as if she was looking at the great American horizon and this is it for me as if it say.

		A full renovation of the Noguchi Museum in Queens, New York, established in 1985, was completed, to almost universal praise, in June 2004.
		Noguchi was as catholic in his design as he was in his art: He fashioned tables, chairs, lamps, cutlery, and teacups.
		One side benefit of the resurgence of Noguchi and Midcentury Modernism is that licensed versions of most of the artist's designs have been brought back.

	The Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum - Museums - Visitors Guide - New York
		A museum of such stark elegance doesn't usually sit across the street from a Costco, but The Noguchi Museum manages to rise above its rather inauspicious location, which is a fair walk from the closest subway.
		But Noguchi may have one thing in common with mass retailers like the neighboring Costco: He's the creator of the Akari light sculptures, paper and bamboo lanterns that have been copied by Ikea.
		Noguchi proposed this design for a larger-scale Hiroshima memorial, but ultimately his design wasn't chosen.
