Isamu Noguchi was one of the twentieth century’s most important and critically acclaimed sculptors. Yet, throughout his lifetime of artistic experimentation, he also created gardens, furniture and lighting designs, ceramics, architecture, landscapes, and set designs. And each is beyond incredible. 

This book examines the relationship between Isamu Noguchi and Greece, the Mediterranean country he regularly visited for decades through the lens of Objects of Common Interest (OoCI - formed by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis with the focus in creating still life installations and experiential environments and is an amalgamation of thinking and making between two diverse poles, Greece and New York).

Also included in this book are new writings that explore the Japanese American interdisciplinarian’s creative community, including futurist Buckminster Fuller and choreographer Martha Graham.  To this day, easily Noguchi’s enduring legacy influences current design and art practices.
