Press Release

David Zwirner is pleased to participate in TEFAF New York 2025 with a solo presentation of sculptures and drawings by Ruth Asawa. Asawa’s work is the subject of a major retrospective now on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which will travel to The Museum of Modern Art in New York in October.

About the Artist

An influential sculptor, devoted activist, and tireless advocate for arts education, Ruth Asawa (1926-2013) is best known for her extensive body of hanging wire sculptures. Intricate, dynamic, and sinuous, these remarkable works, begun in the late 1940s, continue to challenge conventional notions of sculpture through their emphasis on lightness and transparency. Explaining her fascination with wire as a material, Asawa said, “I was interested in it because of the economy of a line, making something in space, enclosing it without blocking it out. It’s still transparent. I realized that if I was going to make these forms, which interlock and interweave, it can only be done with a line because a line can go anywhere.”¹
