In 1958, with the project of the garden for the new UNESCO headquarters building in Paris, Noguchi realized an exterior design that tested both the state of modern sculpture and in some ways his own Japanese-American background. Noguchi designed a lower garden complete with modelled stone surfaces, greenery, rock arrangements, a shallow cascade and a pond. The garden mixed the contoured surfaces of a modern sculptural relief with arrangements of rocks and object forms that directly recalled the heritage of Japanese garden design. Historic and contemporary photographs present the development of the design, and its colours and textures throughout the seasons. This book present for the first time Noguchi's life and work.

*An educational and enjoyable exploration of Zimmerman's work*Contains a myriad of full-colour illustrations, featuring three essays, an interview with the artist, exhibition history, artist chronology, and bibliographyElyn Zimmerman: Sculpture spans four decades of Zimmerman's career as an artist. It provides an in-depth examination of her public and private commissions, which can be found across three continents. Zimmerman began her career as an enigmatic and lonely figure: a painter and photographer who loved nothing better than to shut her studio door and work in isolation. But in retrospect another medium became Zimmerman's passion, one that would draw her out into the landscape to create large-scale sculptures and site-specific projects, inspired by the archeological sites she visited in the 1970s. Zimmerman is among the small number of a distinguished group of artists and landscape architects who create art for both private and public spaces. Among her public commissions are a memorial fountain for the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, New York; the sculpture garden at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama; a fountain and seating area for the AT&T headquarters in Basking Ridge, NJ; the plaza design for the National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, DC; a project for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Park and most recently, a park in Tribeca, New York City. Extensively illustrated, this monograph includes three essays, an interview with the artist, exhibition history, artist chronology, and bibliography.
