This event has ended.
As part of his extended tour throughout Europe, Asia, and the Far East, Isamu Noguchi discovered the eighteenth-century astronomical observatories in Delhi and Jaipur known as Jantar Mantar.
These open-air campuses consisted of astronomical instruments built on a grand architectural scale. This exhibition, the first in a series focusing on Noguchi’s photographs, will feature a selection of images from his visits to the observatories between 1949 and 1960, along with a handful of objects.
