Product Description

Best of Friends: Isamu Noguchi and Buckminster Fuller looks closely at the vital friendship and collaboration between Buckminster Fuller, an icon of modern creative and scientific thought, and Isamu Noguchi, one of the of twentieth century's most acclaimed sculptors and designers. This profusely illustrated book includes images of models, sculptures, drawings, and documentary photographs revealing the two men's ongoing discourse and shared ideas, providing a window into the humanistic, utopian perspective that informed not only the work of Fuller and Noguchi but much of the art and architecture of the era in which they worked.

Architect Shoji Sadao collaborated with both Buckminster Fuller and Isamu Noguchi on many important projects throughout their careers, and served as executive director of the Isamu Noguchi Foundation, Inc., from 1991 to 2003.
