Résumé
In 1933, Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) designed a monument to Benjamin Franklin. Unbuilt for years, the project at first reached only the model stage ; however this homage came to fruition in Philadelphia in 1984 as Bolt of Lightning... Memorial to Ben Franklin. The temporal distance between conception and completion forces a new look at the work stripped of its roots.
