Noguchi: The Sets for Martha Graham

November 9 - December 20, 2009

Organized with assistance and generosity of the Noguchi Museum

Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), a prominent Japanese American artist and landscape architect, designed over 20 innovative sets for original Martha Graham (1894-1991) dance productions. A ground-breaking dancer and choreographer, Graham defined the modern dance movement. This exhibition showcases over 30 years of collaboration and is presented in conjunction with Northrop’s November 12th restaging of Graham's Greek psychodrama Clytemnestra, a masterpiece of 20th century American modernist dance.
