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.

This 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. 
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.
