A groundbreaking examination of how the act of drawing was a vital
component of Ruth Asawa’s multifaceted art  Ruth Asawa
(1926–2013), widely known for her looped-wire sculptures, was an
inveterate drawer. She filled sketchbook after sketchbook and even
stated that drawing was central to her sculpture. This volume is
the first to consider the significance of drawing in Asawa’s
oeuvre throughout her career, featuring essays that examine the
range of Asawa’s aesthetic maneuvers across materials and
techniques; how Asawa’s drawing intertwined with the Bay Area
arts community and her contributions to public education as a
teacher and organizer; and the influence of Josef Albers’s
pedagogy and Asawa’s lifelong adoption of his type of paper
folding. Tracing Asawa’s artistic journey from her first formal
art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp during World War
II through her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this
comprehensive overview of the artist’s drawings includes
reproductions of more than one hundred works—many of which have
never been published—organized into eight thematic sections that
cut through time, reflecting an art-making practice that was more
circular or cyclical than linear. Â Distributed for the Menil
Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art Â
