The World of Ruth Asawa
Ruth Asawa is best known for intricate wire sculptures, based on sinuous organic forms. Originally
derided as craft objects, her nest-like works of wire, brass, and stone are now included in major
museum collections. But Asawa’s longtime San Francisco home and garden inspired a creative
universe that included far more than her famous sculptures—it informed drawings, prints,
paintings, and design objects as well as her many public commissions. If you missed SFMOMA's
major international retrospective of her awe-inspiring work last year, Avril will offer a review.
