Baby Bunny visits the Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum

 

This is Dakota's Baby Bunny. It is a plush toy licensed by the University of Tulsa. It liked the modernist sculptural concepts of Noguchi.



There are many notable things about Isamu Noguchi. What you know about "modern" design (which is not to say "contemporary" as the modern era ended decades ago) might well depend on what you know about Noguchi. Did you know that he and Buckminster Fuller were lifelong friends? Did you know that Noguchi never got to make the Ulimate Children's playground? Did you know that his half-sister, Ailes Gilmore, was a pioneer of modern interpretive dance? It's all true!


 

Like all borgeois college types, bunny decided to hang out in the gift shop cafe and chill.
