Listening to Stone: The Art and Life of Isamu Noguchi by
In this biography of the elusive artist, Hayden Herrera observes this driving force of Isamu Noguchi's creativity as intimately tied to his deep appreciation of nature. Only through his art - now seen as a powerful aesthetic link between the East and the West - did Noguchi ever seem to feel that he belonged. Combining Noguchi's correspondence and interviews with those closest to him - from artists, patrons, assistants, and lovers - Herrera has created an authoritative biography of one of the twentieth century's most important sculptors.

Isamu Noguchi's Modernism by
Exploring the complex interweaving of race, national identity, and the practice of sculpture, Amy Lyford takes us through a close examination of the early US career of the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988). The years between 1930 and 1950 were perhaps some of the most fertile of Noguchi's career. Through a look at his work, this book tells a story about his relation to the most important cultural and political issues of his time. Lyford reveals how Noguchi's reputation was both shaped by and helped define ideas about race, labor and national identity in twentieth-century American culture.
