📢 Editor’s Updates

There are just two weeks left to go to the ‘Ruth Asawa Through Line’ exhibit at the Whitney, ending on January 15. While Asawa is renowned for her wire sculptures, this exhibit instead highlights her drawings, prints, watercolors, and more, featuring just one of her wire sculptures. In fact, she stated that “sculpture was just an extension of drawing.” The message of the exhibit is clear: do not overlook the impressive breadth of work Asawa offered.

Asawa mastered a consistent minimalism, meticulousness, and deep connection to nature across various mediums. Her education at Black Mountain College profoundly influenced her — under the mentorship of Josef Albers, she explored the intersection of art, nature, and mathematics. The section ‘In and Out’ was particularly striking, where Asawa’s intricate origami works exemplified this harmonious blend of artistry with mathematical precision.

We highly recommend this exhibit if you’re interested in exploring the often-overlooked prints and drawings of the impressive sculptor, and/or if you’re drawn to geometric and minimalistic works.

(If you go, be sure to stop by the impressive Henry Taylor: B Side exhibit, which we’ll be sharing about next week!)
