Following a recent exhibition in London, David Zwirner is showcasing a comprehensive body of work by Ruth Asawa at its 20th Street location in New York City.
To complement Asawa’s signature looped wire artworks, lesser-known sculptures and drawings are on view to show a full scope of her creative spirit. For Asawa, art and life were constantly in dialogue. One example of this can be seen in her San Francisco home which opened to two large redwood doors that she intricately hand-carved in a wavy pattern with her kids.
Although she’s principally known for her wire sculptures, the exhibit shines a light on her equally alluring drawings and ceramic faces that depicted her beloved family members, along with other people in the San Francisco community. Many of the works have never been shown publicly.
“Ruth Asawa: All Is Possible” is on view at David Zwirner New York until December 18.
