A memorial to Benjamin Franklin by artist Isamu Noguchi located in downtown Philadelphia. Other than lightning, I probably couldn't have asked for better weather for this shot.
Mother Tree, the centrepiece of the oriental garden at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, October 12, 2006, built and designed by Isamu Taniguchi as a gift to the city of Austin. Mother Tree, according to Taniguchi, was his inspiration and shade as he built the garden. She died when the garden was opened, but she was left in place, as guardian of his work.

Noguchi
(September 2021 — January 2022)
An exhibition celebrating Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), one of the most experimental and pioneering artists of the 20th century.
Noguchi explores the kaleidoscopic career of a true artistic polymath. This exhibition, which is his first touring retrospective in Europe for 20 years, focuses on Noguchi as a global citizen and his risk-taking approach to sculpture as a living environment.
‘Everything is sculpture. Any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture.'
Over 150 works are presented, including an extraordinary range of sculptures – made in stone, ceramics, wood and aluminium – as well as theatre set designs, playground models, furniture and lighting.
Embracing social, environmental and spiritual consciousness, Noguchi believed sculpture could 'be a vital force in our everyday life' and saw art 'as something which teaches human beings how to become more human.'

The Museum - chartered as The Noguchi Museum - is housed in thirteen galleries within a converted factory building and encircles a garden containing major granite and basalt sculptures."
