Design & Desire in the Twentieth Century

Earlier this year Design and Desire posted an article on the artist Isamu Noguchi. We’d like to share a terrific interview with the former director of the Noguchi Museum, Shoji Sadao. Sadao discusses Noguchi’s long-lived relationship with Buckminster Fuller. The accompanying photographs are also well worth a look.

Thanks to Skibinskipedia for bringing this fine article to our attention.
