E.L. USA, 1982-83 galvanized steel 39½ w x 37 d x 22 h in (100 x 94 x 56 cm)
In 1982, Noguchi collaborated with Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles to create a series of galvanized steel sculptures. The pieces were created by flame cutting sheet steel and welding the elements by hand. During the finishing process, "the sculptures passed through boiling zinc and returned with newly made surfaces of nature. The surfaces resemble those of rocks in a stream. Each skin, epidermis, outer layer, is unique in pattern and texture." Welded signature and date. Titled, signed and numbered 7 from the edition of 18 on the Gemini G.E.L. plaque. literature: Isamu Noguchi at Gemini 1982-1983, McClure, pg. 39
