Doing is living. That is all that matters.Ruth AsawaThroughout her long and prolific career American artist Ruth Asawa (19262013) developed innovative sculptures in wire, a medium she explored through increasingly complex forms using craftbased techniques she learned while traveling in Mexico in 1947. In 1949, after studying at Black Mountain College, Asawa moved to San Francisco and created dozens of wire works, among them an iconic bronze fountainthe first of many public commissionsfor the citys Ghirardelli Square.Bringing together examples from across Asawas full and extraordinary career, this expansive volume serves as an unprecedented reorientation of her sculptures within the historical context of 20thcentury art. In particular, it includes careful consideration of Asawas advocacy for arts education in public schools, while simultaneously focusing on her vitaland long underrecognizedcontributions to the field of sculpture. Insightful essays explore the intersection of formal experimentation and identity to offer a fresh assessment of this celebrated artist. Richly illustrated with exquisite new installation views, Ruth Asawa: Lifes Work introduces original scholarship that traces the dynamic evolution of form in the artists work.Published in association with the Pulitzer Arts FoundationExhibition Schedule:Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis(09/14/1802/16/19)
