It’s all in the family! Ruth Asawa’s daughters Aiko Cuneo and Addie Lanier spent time reforming Asawa’s looped-wire sculptures with our Conservation Team before the opening of “Ruth Asawa: Retrospective.”
Aiko, Addie, and our conservator Natalya honor Asawa’s legacy by carefully using various tools (including wooden chopsticks) to re-form the small wire loops on “Untitled (S.433 Hanging Nine Open Hyperbolic Shapes Joined Laterally)” (ca. 1958).
Curious about the re-forming process? Keep an eye on our account for more information to come!
Experience Ruth Asawa’s life through art.
“Ruth Asawa: Retrospective” open now.
