SUMMARY:The Faces Of Ruth Asawa
DESCRIPTION:From the mid-1960s through 2000\, Asawa created hundreds of individual face masks out of clay. With the Cantor’s Asian American Art Initiative\, this wall of 233 masks becomes a permanent part of their collection. \nThe Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI) transforms Stanford into the leading academic and curatorial center for Asian American art. Alexander and Marci Kwon\, assistant professor in Stanford’s Department of Art and Art History\, serve as AAAI co-directors. As part of the initiative\, the Cantor works to build the preeminent collection of Asian American art at a university art museum. \nThe Cantor acquired Untitled (LC.012\, Wall of Masks) in 2020. On July 6\, 2022\, they go on long-term view at the museum\, marking the first time this work has been shown in its entirety at any museum or public institution. The focused exhibition\, The Faces of Ruth Asawa\, curated by Alexander\, features the masks and three vessels by Asawa’s son Paul Lanier. These special vessels were created with clay mixed with the ashes of Asawa\, her husband Albert\, and their late son\, Adam. Upon Asawa’s death—per her request—Lanier took this material and threw a set of vessels\, one for each remaining sibling. The three included in The Faces of Ruth Asawa were borrowed from the family. Their inclusion in the exhibition further demonstrates Asawa’s deeply intimate connection to clay. \nHear from Asawa’s family and friends\, including mask subjects\, about her process making the masks > \nThe museum is open Wed – Sun\, free with reservations. Reserve here > \nEnd date is open-ended.

SUMMARY:Installation: Ruth Asawa: Untitled (S.272)
DESCRIPTION:An iconic work by a beloved and influential Bay Area artist\, Untitled (S.272) is a nine-foot-tall hanging sculpture composed of looped copper and iron wire\, created in the mid-1950s by Ruth Asawa (American\, 1926–2013). This second installation in the Fang Family Launchpad is a masterful example of the suspended\, abstract works of looped wire for which Asawa is best known. Its airy interior and exterior spaces flow seamlessly into one another\, using organic lines that evoke shapes found in nature — including the human body — while also suggesting a gently undulating movement.    \nMuseum Hours:\nThu:\n1 PM – 8 PM\nFri–Mon:\n10 AM–5 PM\nTue–Wed:\nClosed \nPhoto: Ruth Asawa\, Untitled (S.272\, Hanging Seven-Lobed Continuous Interlocking Form with Spheres in Two Lobes)\, approx. 1954.

SUMMARY:Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Modern Art announces Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction\, an in-depth exhibition that delves into the dynamic intersections between weaving and abstraction. The exhibition will include approximately 150 works in a range of mediums—from textiles and basketry to painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, and media works—exploring the overlap between abstract art\, weaving\, craft\, and fashion. Woven Histories challenges long-held notions of the weave as a function of textile alone\, exploring the many forms both warp and weft have taken when explored by abstract artists over the past 100 years. Previously on view at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC\, and the National Gallery of Canada\, Ottawa\, the exhibition’s final presentation will be at MoMA\, with numerous works not seen at earlier venues. \nPhoto: Installation photo of the exhibition Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction at the Los Angeles County Museumof Art (Sep 17\, 2023 – Jan 21\, 2024)\, Artwork © 2024 Ruth Asawa Lanier\, Inc./Artists Rights Society (ARS)\, New York.Courtesy David Zwirner\, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA

SUMMARY:Printing Color: Chiaroscuro to Screenprint
DESCRIPTION:Color has challenged and fascinated printmakers since the Renaissance. This exhibition explores technological and artistic revolutions in color printmaking from the 16th century through today. From innovative 18th-century mezzotints to avant-garde 19th-century lithographs to experimental works by contemporary artists Kiki Smith and Henry Taylor\, the exhibition highlights printmaking across time and technique. These vibrant works on paper reveal the enduring pull of color in print. \nPhoto: Loretta Bennett (b. 1960)\, Forever (for Old Lady Sally)\, 2006\, 2006.
