The groundbreaking work of Ruth Asawa, a Japanese American sculptor and passionate arts activist, will be the subject of a blockbuster retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art from October 19, 2025 to February 7, 2026. Asawa was best known for her ethereal wire sculptures that blur the boundaries between art, craft, and nature, but her extensive body of work also includes paintings, printmaking, and public commissions. Asawa’s legacy extends far beyond the studio—she was a tireless advocate for arts education, believing deeply in its power to shape communities and young minds. This presentation will explore her remarkable life, her artistic innovations, and her enduring impact on American art and public life.
