Night Bird 1967

"Night Bird," created in 1967 by renowned sculptor Isamu Noguchi, showcases Noguchi's signature minimalist style. The sculpture features a simple, abstract form resembling a bird perched atop a slender, rectangular base. The contrast between the smooth, black organic shape and the sharp, metallic base creates a dynamic tension, reflecting Noguchi's interest in the interplay of light and shadow, negative and positive space. "Night Bird" is an iconic piece of Noguchi's later work, embodying his exploration of form, materiality, and the essence of natural elements in sculpture.
