Art History Lecture Series | Ruth Asawa (1926-2013)

Japanese-American sculptor Ruth Asawa began crocheting with wire in the 1940s, and the technique allowed her to craft a distinctive sculpture style of biomorphic forms she suspended from the ceiling. Yet she also created very different public sculptures that grew from her activism in her San Francisco community.
