It was 3 p.m. on a cloudy afternoon this past Saturday when I arrived at the “California Scenario” sculpture garden in Costa Mesa with my peers and Professor Bert Winther-Tamaki from my Art History 198 seminar class. For weeks I had anticipated this field trip to this sculpture garden that I had no previous knowledge of, for I would be able to experience one of the many artworks of Isamu Noguchi, widely considered one of the most celebrated and memorable artists of 20th-century American sculpture.
