SUMMARY:Lasting Joy: Asawa Family Selections
DESCRIPTION:For Ruth Asawa\, art was woven into the fabric of family life\, and the joy of creating together continues to live on in her family today. \nThis exhibition brings together twenty life cast masks of Asawa’s family members along with their favorite Asawa artwork and a description of why they chose it. The selections range from the playful and unexpected–including a surfboard\, jewelry\, and a giant Celastic head–to rarely seen sketchbooks\, paintings\, and wire sculptures\, offering a glimpse into the many ways Asawa’s work continues to resonate with those closest to her. \nTogether\, these twenty faces and twenty artwork selections offer an intimate record of Asawa’s lasting influence on her family. Written in their own words\, shared stories provide a close and loving look at Asawa through the eyes of the people who knew her best. \nAs a mother and grandmother\, I expected my six children and ten grandchildren to participate in the making of art as well as washing the dishes\, taking the garbage out\, weeding the garden\, and building things. They have helped me on commissions and continue today to work with me on projects. Although most of them do not earn their living as artists\, their lives have been made far richer because of this involvement. I believe in the lasting joy that making art can bring to all of us. –Ruth Asawa\, 2001 \nHours\nTuesday – Saturday; 11AM-4PM\nSunday – Monday; Closed \nPhoto: Untitled (S.783\, Hanging Miniature Five-Lobed\, Interlocking Continuous Form within a Form with Interior Spheres)\, c. 1968 copper wire\nArtwork © 2026 Ruth Asawa Lanier\, Inc.\, Courtesy David Zwirner

SUMMARY:Ruth Asawa: Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:The first European retrospective dedicated to Ruth Asawa (1926–2013)\, the influential American artist of Japanese descent\, offers an extraordinary opportunity to experience the ways in which Asawa transformed the simplest of materials into fascinating object\, blurring the boundaries between abstraction and figuration\, art and craft\, action and contemplation. Asawa’s multi-facetted and diverse oeuvre features wire and bronze sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, paintings\, and public commissions. In the late 1940s\, she studied at the legendary Black Mountain College under Josef Albers and others such as Buckminster Fuller and Merce Cunningham. From 1949\, Asawa lived in San Francisco\, where she produced a body of work ranging from variations of abstract looped-wire sculptures to calligraphic ink drawings\, which stand as an equally vital and autonomous part of her practice. Community engagement was central to Asawa’s life and work. From the late 1960s\, Asawa carried out numerous public commissions such as fountains\, murals and memorials. She also played a significant role in promoting art education in California’s Bay Area and beyond. While Ruth Asawa is widely celebrated in the United States\, this exhibition marks a rare and overdue opportunity for European audiences to encounter the full depth and richness of her artistic legacy. \nRuth Asawa is an exhibition partnership between the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York. This presentation was developed by the Fondation Beyeler.
