Isamu Noguchi: A Sculptor's World Details
A Sculptor's World is the long-awaited reprint of Isamu Noguchi's 1968 autobiography, which Steidl last printed in 2004. It remains Noguchi's most comprehensive statement about the art that brought him international acclaim. Told in words and images, A Sculptor's World is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the life and work of this seminal artist or a general interest in sculpture. Reissued in 2004 and since out of print, A Sculptor's World is now in its third edition, reprinted by Steidl. This volume includes the original foreword by R. Buckminster Fuller as well as a new timeline of major events in Noguchi's life between 1968, when he created his seminal autobiography, and his death in 1988.
Reviews
I was disappointed in this book in light of the positive reviews. I am an artist and buy/collect books "for the pictures" so I won't comment on the text. The addition I got was published in 2015. The paper itself is matte and has the feel of cheap absorbent news print, thus the images are some of the flattest, most washed out and blurriest images I have ever seen in an art book. There are 255 black and white plates and 13 color plates.
