The Noguchi Museum was founded and designed by internationally renowned, Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) for the display of what he considered to be representative examples of his life’s work. Opened in 1985, the Museum is housed in a converted industrial building, connected to a building and interior garden of Noguchi’s design.

Octetra (1968)
painted cast-concrete
— Isamu Noguchi (American, 1904–1988).
Atlanta (Midtown), Georgia, USA.
30 December 2022.
▶ Across Peachtree Street from The High Museum of Art.
***************
▶ "Octetra was designed to be a play structure. It was first exhibited near Spoleto Cathedral [Italy]. There are examples at Robert T. Webb Sculpture Garden [Dalton, Georgia], Moerenuma Park in Japan [and in Atlanta, Georgia, above]. It was also shown at the Pace Gallery [New York]."
***************
▶ Peregrinations
"In 1983, [Atlanta, Georgia's] High Museum was planning for the sculpture Octetra to sit on the museum's front lawn, but eventually abandoned that plan. Rather than truck the finished sculpture back to his Long Island studio, [artist Isamu] Noguchi, in 1985, gave the sculpture to George Spence, business development manager at Metromont [a precast concrete manufacturer in South Carolina, which had cast the sculpture]. Spence, in turn, gave it to the Creative Arts Guild in Dalton, Georgia, where it can be seen in an outdoor sculpture garden.
In 2016, [Atlanta-area developer] John Wieland was on the lookout for a piece of sculpture to go in front of Wieland’s new condominium development across Peachtree Street from the High. He purchased another cement cast edition of Octetra, also cast by Metromont, on exhibit in the Pace Gallery of New York, and let this newly cast sculpture sit in front of the High for a year, while his development was under construction. Noguchi wasn't around to see his sculpture make its way home to the High. He died in 1988."

Isamu Noguchi designed Akari light sculptures from 1952-1986 and the artist FUTURA2000 hand painted the light designs in 2020. Noguchi created more than 200 models but with the possibilities of the various bases, shades and extension rods the variety is endless.

"Mother Tree helped Isamu Taniguchi as he worked in the garden. She spoke to him daily, inspiring him to finish. When the garden was finished, Mother Tree died. She gave her spirit to the garden."

Recycled art because it once had a past interaction with humans, I've always liked that. I looked it up, this sculpture really was for a time and actual millstone.
I would prefer to know where this millstone's previous life was but I can't find that. I did find where Isamu Noguchi wrote "I made a number of variations on old millstones I found. I made them mine and I made them sculpture."
"Isamu Noguchi’s Red Cube in Lower Manhattan was installed in 1968. The diagonal lines of red painted steel stand in contrast to the stark horizontal and vertical lines of the adjacent Marine Midland Building (by architect Gordon Bunshaft). The cylindrical hole running upward through the piece, as well as the cube’s topmost point, draw the viewer’s eye skyward." (Text from NYC Arts)
Bayfront Park is a 32-acre (13 ha) public, urban park in Downtown Miami, Florida on Biscayne Bay. The Chairman to the trust is Ary Shaeban. Located in the park is a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus sculpted by Count Vittorio di Colbertaldo of Verona, one of Benito Mussolini’s hand picked ceremonial bodyguards known as the “Black Musketeers.”
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 FTX 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.
In June 2020, the park's Ponce de Leon and Christopher Columbus statues were vandalized, though it was announced that they would not be removed.
Bayfront Park holds the city's annual "America's Birthday Bash" on Independence Day, which attracted over 60,000 visitors in 2011. The park also hosts the city's official New Year's Eve party that annually hosts over 70,000 visitors. Visitors are encouraged to take public transport for events at Bayfront Park as parking can be scarce and expensive. The nearest Metrorail station is Government Center. From there a connection to the Metromover is available with three stops near the park, Bayfront Park, First Street, and College/Bayside.
It has been the site of the Ultra Music Festival, an electronic dance music event. In 2018, Miami's commissioners barred the festival from being held downtown, citing complaints surrounding noise and the behavior of attendees, resulting in a relocation to Virginia Key. The festival returned to the park in March 2022.
The park hosted the hip-hop music festival "Rolling Loud" in 2017. Performers included Kendrick Lamar, Future, Lil Wayne, ASAP Rocky, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and Mac Miller.
The Bayfront Park includes an amphitheater with capacity of 10,000 people, in where several cultural events have been held. On pop culture, notably, the Bayfront Park amphitheater was stage for country pop singer Shania Twain during her Come On Over Tour in early 1999, with two shows featuring guests Backstreet Boys, Elton John and Canadian dance group Leahy. A CBS television special was filmed throughout the concerts and aired in March 1999 under the title of Winter Break. It was later released on home video in 2001 as The Specials.

Black Sun over the Black Sun sculpture by Isamu Noguchi at Volunteer Park in Seattle, WA.
Photographed with a Chinon SLR camera using an Auto Tamron f/4.5 21mm lens. The film is Kodak Spectrum Analysis film 5367, no.1 expired 4/1981. The film is only sensitive to UV and blue light. This was a 1 second exposure at f/4.5. It has been reversed like you would with a negative but you can see where the sun and the bright sky has become solarized from over exposure while the rest of the scene is exposed as a negative. The film was developed in Kodak HC-110 dilution F for 10 minutes with Benzotriazole used as an anti-fogging agent.

The essence of sculpture is for me the perception of space, the continuum of our existence. - Isamu Noguchi
The Isamu Noguchi Museum is one of my favorite small museums.
created by Mirei Shigemori

location : Tofukuji temple northern garden on north side of Hojo
重森三玲 作庭 東福寺 北庭
A sculptor Isamu Noguchi described this garden as “Mondrian style new angle garden.
彫刻家 イサム・ノグチ氏はこの庭を「モンドリアン風の新しい角度の庭」と称しました。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Tofuku-ji’s Hojo “Hasso”Garden
The Hojo ( Abbot’s Hall)was rebuild in 1890 and its surrounding garden were designed in 1939 by landscape sculptor Shigemori Mirei.(1896-1975).
Tofuku-ji is the only temple in which gardens circumscribe all 4 sides of the Hojo.
A symphony of tradition and abstractionism of modern art and regarded as a fine example of contemporary Zen garden, Shigemori's debut success has been widely introduced to the world. The 4 surrounding gardens that make up the "Hasso" gaden represent "Hasso-dojo" (the Buddhas life),namely,"Horai""Hojo""Eiju""Kyoyo","Hakkai","Gozan","Seiden","Ichimatsu" and "Hokutoshichisei".
The northern garden is composed of a cluster of 4 giant rocks symbolizing the 4 Elysian islands :"Horai","Hojo","Eijyu"and"Koryo",on a bed of swirling raked-gravels that symbolizes"Hakkai" (the 8 rough sea)
To the west,five moss-covered mounts symbolize "Gozan"( the 5 sacred mountains)
The western garden is a juxtaposition of squarely trimmed azalea shrubs planted against square field of white gravels to reflect its name "Seiden-ichimatsu" ,an ancient Chinese way of land division in the manner of the Chinese character"sei".
The Northern Garden uses foundation rocks from the Omote-mon(front gate) and moss to manifest an irregular checkered field of green.It ingeniously embodies the colorful autumn foliage of the Sengyokukan ravine for a scenic background.
The Eastern Garden ,also named "Hokuto-no-niwa".distributes the temple's foundation pillars amidst a bed of gravels to illustrate Hokuto Shichisei(the Great Bear constellation) - Tofukuji Temple
