Geode 1974

"Geode" is a 1974 sculpture by renowned Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi, known for his innovative approach to sculpture and public art. This piece showcases Noguchi's characteristic use of natural materials, in this case, a carved and polished stone. The sculpture's abstract form evokes the natural world, with its irregular contours and contrasting textures suggesting the internal structure of a geode. The smooth, white interior contrasts with the rough, dark exterior, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
