Isamu Noguchi 1950s Mid Century Modernist Art Print, Eames/Yanagi/Saarinen Era

Description: Isamu Noguchi 1954 Japanese Silkscreen Poster, Original, Mid Century Modern.Art history — The Akari Prints are an ephemeral ode to Japanese tradition with a nod to modern design. Isamu Noguchi's Akari Prints celebrate traditional Japanese craftsmanship in the use of washi paper - the same paper Noguchi used to construct his iconic Akari Lanterns. Noguchi originally created the prints in 1954 for the Chuo Koron exhibition. Akari - a Japanese term meaning light as illumination - also implies the idea of weightlessness. The delicate prints can appear slightly wrinkled and have a texture unlike standard paper prints. Made in Japan. This is the original edition on Washi paper; not a later reprint on regular paper. Noguchi prints are hand printed on Washi paper which is precisely the reason we like them. Each print is a "one off" unique piece, with paper as supplied by nature. Please note that due to this peculiar uniqueness, customer must be able to accept understandable variations in grain as well as minor imperfections or natural creases that are normal for this type of paper.Original Noguchi marked in the bottom with the following text "Isamu Noguchi". 26"x19.25" screen prints on washi paper designed by Isamu Noguchi. To preserve the texture, hang without a frame, or in a floating frame. The paper can be quite fragile, so please handle with care. Avoid direct sunlight and liquid cleaners. Made in Japan. Guaranteed original. Condition is new. Sold without frame (unframed).I suggest to have it framed. This is a collectors item sold in 'as is' condition, no returns please, thank you. Perhaps more than any other midcentury master, Isamu Noguchi blurred the lines between public and personal, between art and design. His career was defined by experimenting, learning and creating. “You can find out how to do something and then do it,” he said, “or do something and then find out what you did.”
