The American sculptor #IsamuNoguchi is one of the essential visionaries of the twentieth century. These #lamps on display are from his #washi paper for #Akari lanterns phase in the 1950s. Which #lamp do you think matches your current decor? #NoguchiSFOThis tweet was posted on June 26, 2018.
This is your last week to see "Isamu Noguchi: Inside and Out." This exhibition is drawn from Noguchi's last two forays in sheet metal kirigami, combined with his electrified paper-and-bamboo Akari lanterns. #NoguchiSFOThis tweet was posted on January 08, 2019.
“The light of #Akari is like the light of the sun filtered through the paper of shoji.
