prolific career American artist Ruth Asawa (1926&#8211203)

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&#8212th first of many public

commissions&#8212fo the city&#8217sGhirardelli Square.

Bringing together examples from across Asawa&#8217sfull

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&#8217sadvocacy for arts

education in public schools, while simultaneously focusing on

her vital&#8212an long under-recognized&#8212cotributions


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&#8217sWork introduces original scholarship that traces

the dynamic evolution of form in the artist&#8217swork.
