Black Sun is a 1969 sculpture by Isamu Noguchi located in Seattle, Washington's Volunteer Park.

The statue is situated on the eastern edge of the park's man-made reservoir, across from the Seattle Asian Art Museum.

The view from the sculpture includes the Space Needle, Olympic Mountains, and Elliott Bay.

[1][2][3] Many mistakenly believe Soundgarden's hit single "Black Hole Sun" was inspired by Noguchi's sculpture, as the band took their name from another outdoor public art work in Seattle, A Sound Garden, and the resemblance of the song's title to Noguchi's work.

However, singer-songwriter Chris Cornell attributes the song's inspiration to a misheard news broadcast.
