"The new exhibition space will include a variety of rarely exhibited looped wire sculptures for which the artist is best known, as well as cast artworks, paperfolds, watercolor paintings, and drawings on paper and copper foil."
"Henry Weverka, one of Asawa's 10 grandchildren, mentioned that the 1,1714-square-foot space is situated on the ground floor and has been outfitted with a redwood wall to give RAL the opportunity to display sculpture against dark wood, similar to how it was displayed in Asawa's home."
"The furniture will be inspired by Asawa's house as well, with basic table bases and butcher block tops, and a replica of Asawa's coffee table with sketchbooks for visitors to sit at and draw in."
A permanent exhibition space for Ruth Asawa will open on May 9 in San Francisco, coinciding with the centenary of her birth. The gallery, part of her family-run estate, will feature a curated exhibition by her daughters, showcasing looped wire sculptures, cast artworks, paperfolds, and drawings. The space is designed to reflect Asawa's home, with a redwood wall and furniture inspired by her style. Future exhibitions will present lesser-known works by the artist.
