In 1938, famed Japanese-American sculptor, architect and industrial designer Isamu Noguchi submitted a proposal for a 22-foot-tall, stainless steel bas-relief sculpture to adorn the entrance of the Associated Press Building in New York City. The sculpture, to be called “News,” would depict five journalists riding the newswire, wielding the tools of their craft: a notepad, telephone, camera and wirephoto.
