This event has ended.
When the Museum first opened, Area 5 was a gallery featuring 1960s-era bronzes. This summer it will be installed as close as possible to its original state—before the elevator went in, when the space was longer. The exhibition will open with nine objects installed. Regularly throughout the summer, one or two pieces will be removed, with the aim being to leave the gallery looking, at every stage, like it had always been installed in its current state.
In our 30th anniversary year the idea of the exhibition is to highlight Noguchi’s original installation and the complex task of editing it—when necessary (as in the case of fundamental changes to the building or when pieces go out on loan), as well as when programmatically desirable.
