“News,” Isamu Noguchi’s first major architectural commission (1938-1940), was a stainless steel bas-relief mounted over the entrance to the Associated Press Building in New York’s Rockefeller Center. Its power rests in its huge scale. To make that scale speak, I waited for a person to leave the building and I photographed him just as he turned to his right. His directional flow is exactly the opposite of the flow of Noguchi’s dynamic diagonal that ties his massive sculpture together. The heroic figures on the wall are four times the size of the man in this picture. They represent real people engaged in the process of recording and transmitting news, yet Noguchi gives that task greater importance by rendering them in monumental scale. I make Noguchi’s art express that point to an even greater degree in this photograph by comparing his huge figures to the mere mortal who is leaving the building.
