Funny to hear a highly intelligent museum employee speaking with the rising pitch at end of sentence where it makes his statements seems like a question. Appears unconfident and unsure of himself. Anyway, Isamu is a hero to me and I attended the opening of his museum in LIC. When he appeared everyone clapped enthusiastically. What a genius.
"I made them mine and I made them sculpture".How insufferably arrogant. Noguchi was merely an artist. Hamada Shoji was way, way beyond that. Like the Lotus flower that rises up to bloom, utterly resplendent from the mud and mediocrity all around it.
Hamada Shōji was a potter and ceramist. Noguchi was a sculptor but he created gardens, furniture and lighting designs, architectural works, landscapes and set designs. Two different worlds. Also that quote reflects on found objects of art which has a long tradition in western art (like Marchel Duchamp) but also in japanese traditions (like the rocks in a zen garden).
Love the simplicity and expressiveness inherent in the forms. The respect he had for the materials is also evident.

"Uptalking arts professional" is an oxymoron. Yet that apparently is passes as acceptable these days.
