Re-Edition des Ensembles bestehend aus Schachfiguren und Tisch

Isamu Noguchi (1904 - 1988) entwickelte dieses Ensemble 1944 für die Ausstellung «Imagery of Chess» in der Julien Levy Gallery in New York. Julien Levy hatte die Ausstellung zusammen mit Marcel Duchamp und Max Ernst kuratiert.

Die Neuauflage ist in einer Kooperation von Ameico, IC Design und der Isamu Noguchi Foundation entstanden, während die Produktionsentwicklung und Herstellung von tät-tat übernommen wurde.

Noguchi verband seine künstlerische Leidenschaft mit einem tiefen Respekt für die Geschichte und Traditionen der östlichen, wie auch der westlichen Kulturen. Besonders angetan hatten es ihm historische indische und persische Schachformen. Verstärkt wurde dies wohl durch seine Liebesbeziehung mit Tara Pandit, der Nichte des indischen Premierministers Jawaharlal Nehru. Anstelle der üblichen weissen und schwarzen Figuren und Bretter des Westens, kopierte Noguchi indische schwarze Lackbretter mit kreisförmigen Einsätzen. Seine Figuren fertigte er in durchscheinendem Rot und Grün an, was an die Rubine und Smaragde erinnert, die die legendären Schachfiguren der frühen indischen Rajahs schmückten. Alle Figuren bis auf den Turm haben kopfartige Formen und gewölbte Stacheln.

Der Mangel an hochwertigen Materialien während des Krieges begrenzte und inspirierte Noguchi. Für diesen Entwurf entwickelte er ein einfaches System, bei dem dünne, konturierte Materialebenen zusammengeklebt wurden, die die Objekte in die finale Objektdimension transponierten. In seinen Skulpturen verfolgte er später diese Idee für längere Zeit weiter. Neu war für diese Zeit auch das Plexiglas, das als Material zur Herstellung durchsichtiger Flugzeugkanzeln und Geschütztürme entwickelt worden war (The imagery of Chess revisited, herausgegeben von Larry List).

tät-tat finalisierte die Umsetzung des faltbaren Brettes, der Figuren und den Innenausbau der Verpackung.

Decent quality for the price
Color: Grey
Decent quality for the price. Other privacy screens were extremely out of my budget, but this looks and works just fine- I just needed something simple to place behind my couch to hide some clutter. It took me about a half hour to assemble, but it was easy enough. It might be due to my carpeting, but I don't trust that the screen would be stable enough to stand freely without falling. Thankfully my plan all along was to wedge the screen between the couch and a box of clutter anyway, so for me it works as l'd planned!

Overpriced but effective.
Color: Cream
I happened to get lucky and get a warehouse deal at an additional 30% discount. Even at $25, it feels a little overpriced. But it was easy to assemble and serves its purpose. If you line the Velcro up exactly, the panels sag, if you stretch past even, but where it still grips, they look pretty ok. It is very light and does fold very compact for easy storage.

Great price for a great product
Color: Coal Black
Excellent quality and great price to boot. Easy to assemble and folds up easily to be stored. We are using it as a privacy screen when we have company that needs to sleep on the couch and also to block off a hallway leading to a guest suite. It looks great and is as described in the ad

No.
Color: Coal Black, Color: Coal Black
This was horribly made and a nightmare to put together. You have to basically bend the bars to get the coverings attached. The sizes don't match. The stickers that label the parts are impossible to remove and if you do get them off theres a lot of residue left behind. On top of that once it was put together I noticed theres a big dirty foot print on it which is definitely not mine.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy
