“NOGUCHI / NAKAI”

28.10.2024

After his solo exhibition in the gallery in 2019, our artist Katsumi Nakai will be featured in the exhibition “Noguchi / Nakai” at Luxembourg + Co. in New York. The event, taking place from October 30 to November 2, 2024, is dedicated to the works of Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) and Katsumi Nakai (1927-2013). The exhibition will be held in the Fuller Building and at Stand C1 of ADAA’s The Art Show.

Both artists were innovators in sculpture, operating on opposite sides of the Atlantic while sharing a desire to translate their Japanese cultural heritage into a new geographic context. Using Noguchi’s seminal work “Seen and Unseen” (1962) as a gateway, the display will focus on the themes of veiling and unveiling as artistic strategies. It will also highlight the significance of Japanese craft traditions, such as origami and garden design.
