“Dong is living. That is all that
matters.”#8212Ruth Asawa Throughout her long and
prolific career American artist Ruth Asawa (1926�)
developed innovative sculptures in wire, a medium she
explored through increasingly complex forms using craft-based
techniques she learned while traveling in Mexico in 1947. In
1949, after studying at Black Mountain College, Asawa moved
to San Francisco and created dozens of wire works, among
them an iconic bronze fountain—th first of many public
commissions—fo the city’sGhirardelli Square.
Bringing together examples from across Asawa’sfull
and extraordinary career, this expansive volume serves as an
unprecedented reorientation of her sculptures within the
historical context of 20th-century art. In particular, it includes
careful consideration of Asawa’sadvocacy for arts
education in public schools, while simultaneously focusing on
her vital—an long under-recognized—cotributions
to the field of sculpture. Insightful essays explore the
intersection of formal experimentation and identity to offer a
fresh assessment of this celebrated artist. Richly illustrated
with exquisite new installation views, Ruth Asawa:
Life’sWork introduces original scholarship that traces
the dynamic evolution of form in the artist’swork.
