Titles are not-done in abstract art. The dogma says that we should see for ourselves. The exploration of the unknown may be difficult without a clue and some or background information, so museums usually provide some text as well, but precise words narrow things down, while silent images are open to any connotation.
Isamu Noguchi was not hindered by this dogma. He gave his sculptures beautiful titles, poetic phrases like 'Night Wind' that open new vistas. A piece of black basalt, endlessly caressed by steel tools, rests on a wooden pedestal. We see traces of origin. The twists in the stone and the wood make it alive.
It reminds me of the Japanese 'Torii (gates to a holy place) and - perhaps quite the opposite - the sword of the samurai. Are those personal connotations in conflict with Noguchi's title? I don't think so. Our fingers cannot grasp the 'night wind', our eyes are unable to see it. Yet, it is real. We can hear the wind at night, we can feel it, we can dream it up in stone.

These carved stones come with interesting titles. They are (from left to right) Deepening Knowledge (1969), Human Sacrifice (1984), Brilliance (1982), and Venus (1980).
This stark setting seems less like a museum show space and more like a factory floor. Perhaps it's the trees and natural light in the corner but it tends to grow on you. These Noguchi sculptures seem right at home.

The Red Cube sculpture by Isamu Noguchi. So much fun to photograph from different angles. At the Harry B Helmsley Plaza at Broadway and Liberty Street. Said to signify a rolling die and the role of chance.

Each borough of supercity Imotezu has it's own 60-meter tall guardian robot, an Isamu Mega, to watch over it's citizens. They will put out fires, trample shoplifters and carry old ladies to their optometrist appointments across town. Kaiju attacks will require bigger backup of course but for everyday dramas look no further than your local Isamu Mega!
Akari Light Sculptures by Isamu Noguchi are considered icons of modern design. These lampshades, that are made from handmade washi paper and bamboo ribbing, form "a harmonious blend of Japanese handcraft and modernist form." They come in many shapes and sizes. This one is simply names Akari 25N.

“Red Cube,” Isamu Noguchi, 140 Broadway New York, NY 10005
ENGLISH
Isamu Noguchi’s massive steel sculpture is a site-specific installation on the plaza of 140 Broadway, a Modernist gem designed by Gordon Bunshaft for Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill. It balances, seemingly improbably, on one corner, drawing the eye to its placement within the building’s public plaza (a byproduct of the city’s zoning laws, which allowed for a taller skyscraper in exchange for open space). No less a critic than Ada Louise Huxtable called it a “brilliant accent” against the dark steel of Bunshaft’s tower.

rather than place the sculpture in the center of the Broadway plaza, as a Beaux Arts architect might have done, it was installed asymmetrically, to the left, increasing one’s awareness of the surrounding void. Furthermore, by employing a strong color, Noguchi created an additional counterpoint to the dark surface of 140 Broadway and the older buildings that flank it.

The park began construction in 1924 under the design plans of Warren Henry Manning and officially opened in March 1925. Beginning in 1980, it underwent a major redesign by Japanese-American modernist artist and landscape architect, Isamu Noguchi. Today, Bayfront Park is maintained by the Bayfront Park Management Trust, a limited agency of the city of Miami, Florida.
Bayfront Park is bordered on the north by Bayside Marketplace and the American Airlines Arena, on the south by Chopin Plaza, on the west by Biscayne Boulevard and on the east by Biscayne Bay. Bayfront Park is host to many large events such as the New Year's ball drop, Christmas celebrations, concerts, the Bayfront Park Amphitheater, the Tina Hills Pavilion, as well as boat tours around Biscayne Bay.
Seven blocks north is Bayfront Park's partner park, the 30 acre (0.12 km2) Bicentennial Park. This park’s name has been changed to Museum Park and it is home to The Perez Art Museum and the Frost Science Museum.
Unfortunately today we have the shadow of the radical communist left behind everything, today every artistic concept is attacked and blamed as if these statues were criminals, on Wikipedia there is an apology set very much in the style of the radical left, saying that there are two statues one from Ponce de Leon and the other from Christopher Columbus who were vandalized, but they don't say that for those of the radicals of the BLM Stalinist movement. In Cuba, with the radical communist sentiment, statues that had to do with the history of Cubans were withdrawn, but despite everything the statue of Christopher Columbus was never removed, this sentiment of the New Left is based on another very sinister sentiment...
Playscapes
steel, concrete (1976)
— Isamu Noguchi (American, 1907-1954)
Atlanta (Midtown), Georgia, USA.
13 April 2025.
***************
▶ "Most art is meant not to be touched, and most playgrounds are meant to crawled all over so they don't immediately seem like a great combination but Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi managed to make severe modern art out of what would otherwise be a standard playground space.
Completed in 1976, in Atlanta's Piedmont Park, the art piece, Playscapes, was created as part of the city's 'Art in the Park' bicentennial event. The work was Noguchi's only playground to be built in his lifetime, making it an even more unique work.
There are sharply angled swing sets and minimalist monkey bars, as well as ultra-simplified teeter-totters and a tall slide that might almost look like a spaceship if it were designed by someone working with simple shapes and primary colors."
***************
▶ American artist "Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was one of the twentieth century’s most important and critically acclaimed sculptors. Through a lifetime of artistic experimentation, he created sculptures, gardens, furniture, lighting designs, ceramics, architecture, landscapes, and set designs. His work, at once subtle and bold, traditional and modern, set a new standard for the reintegration of the arts."
