SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror at the Bruce Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Bruce Museum in Greenwich will present Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror from April 2 through November 16\, 2025. This exhibition explores the work of renowned Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi\, highlighting a series of galvanized steel sculptures created in the early 1980s in collaboration with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles. Known for his work in stone\, Noguchi’s use of metal reveals a compelling dialogue between tradition and modernity\, nature and industry\, and identity and abstraction. \nFeaturing nine steel sculptures\, the exhibition is organized thematically to reflect Noguchi’s exploration of human form\, natural elements\, and abstract concepts. His reflective steel surfaces invite viewers into an immersive experience where body\, material\, and environment converge. \nThe Bruce Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm. Admission is $20 for adults\, $15 for seniors (62+) and students\, and free for children under 5 and museum members. Discounted and reciprocal admission must be redeemed in person. The Bruce Museum participates in Museums for All\, offering free entry for up to four individuals with presentation of an EBT card during regular hours. \nThe museum is located at 1 Museum Drive\, Greenwich\, CT 06903.
