On November 18 2025, we were delighted to welcome the artist Kan Yasuda to celebrate his receipt of the 2025 Isamu Noguchi Award and to commence his New York solo exhibition at Ippodo Gallery. The artist's longtime maestro di bottega Giorgio Angeli, whose stone cutting skills are of paramount importance to Yasuda's process, joined him from Pietrasanta, Italy, to discuss the creation of Yasuda's artworks in stone and bronze, and recount their shared history of fifty years. The conversation was moderated by Ippodo Gallery Owner & Director Shoko Aono.
