Noguchi, a modernist sculptor and designer, founded and designed the museum for the specific purpose of exhibiting his works. The 1920s-era industrial space in Long Island City, Queens, thus became the first and only museum in the US to be designed by a living artist for the artist's own work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShore has photographed individual works on view at the museum, documenting them in new and surprising ways; and Barney has photographed visitors at the museum and its events, capturing something of the spatial experience of the museum. These new photographs comprise a beautiful object that pays tribute to the museum and artwork while highlighting the skill and eye of these two photographers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the only book that focuses on the unique dynamic between the museum's artworks, architecture, and visitors and the museum celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2015, coinciding with publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes a foreword by the museum director, Jenny Dixon, and a selection of archival images documenting the transformation of the museum-many published here for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phaidon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014536446192,"sku":"9780714870281","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780714870281_p0.jpg?v=1763792747","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780714870281","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
