Judge Joseph Golia, Tammy Card, John Mangano, Dolores Hoffman Guests celebrated the opening event for the exhibition “Isamu Noguchi and Qi Baish: Beijing 1930” at The Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, which explores a pivotal but lesser-documented moment of Noguchi’s career, when he studied in Beijing with the renowned Chinese ink painter Qi Baishi. This exhibition marks the first pairing of Noguchi’s scrolls with those by Qi Baishi, which have been selected from the same period, alongside the seal that Qi made for his young pupil. Prior to meeting Qi Baishi, Noguchi’s sculptural work effectively jumped between figuration and abstraction. This exhibition suggests the lasting significance of his study of traditional ink brush technique with Qi Baishi was less a point of departure than a stimulus for his reconciliation of the two in his later outlook on sculpture. Opening event Joe Rosa, Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art; Allegra Snyder; Natsu Oyobe, Associate Curator of Asian Art at the University of Michigan Museum of Art; Priscilla Morgan; Lifetime Trustee Claire Shulman, former Queens Borough President; Alexandra May, Curatorial Consultant; Amy Hau, Director of Administration and External Affairs Shoji Sadao; Claire Shulman; Joan Asselin, Member of Community Board 1; Priscilla Morgan, Lifetime Trustee
