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

A revealing exploration of Edward Hopper's inspired relationship to
New York City through his paintings, drawings, prints, and
never-before-published archival materials This engaging book delves
into the iconic relationship between Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and
New York City. This comprehensive look at an essential aspect of
the revered American artist's life reveals how Hopper's experience
of New York's spaces, sensations, and architecture shaped his
vision and served as a backdrop for his distillations of the urban
experience. During sidewalk strolls and elevated train rides,
Hopper sketched the city's many windowed facades. Exterior views
gave way to interior lives, forging one of Hopper's defining
preoccupations: the convergence of public and private. These
permeable walls allowed Hopper to evoke the perplexing awareness of
being alone in a crowd that is synonymous with modern urban life.
Drawing on the vast resources of the Whitney Museum of American
Art, the largest repository of Hopper's work, and the recently
acquired gift of the Sanborn Hopper Archive, this book features
more than 300 illustrations and fresh insight from authoritative
and emerging scholars. Distributed for the Whitney Museum of
American Art Exhibition Schedule: Whitney Museum of American Art,
New York (October 19, 2022-March 5, 2023)
