Interested in the ephemeral nature of sculpture, Isamu Noguchi enjoyed toying with the idea of precarity when making interlocking sculptures in marble and slate (later reproduced in bronze and aluminum). Several of these works, which were made during Noguchi’s time working at his studio in New York City’s MacDougal Alley during the 1940s, are on view in the exhibition ‘Against Time: The Noguchi Museum 40th Anniversary Reinstallation.’ __ Audio and photographs courtesy of The Noguchi Museum Archi
