Ruth Asawa Notecard Set

American artist, educator, and arts activist Ruth Asawa (1926-2013) is known for her extensive body of wire sculptures that challenge conventional notions of material and form through their emphasis on lightness and transparency. Relentlessly experimental across a range of mediums, Asawa also produced numerous drawings and prints that, like her wire sculptures, are often built on simple, repeated gestures that accumulate into complex compositions.

This set consists of 10 notecards and envelopes featuring:

Top Row:
detail of Untitled (S.842, Mounted Paperfold of Alternating Horizontal Black and White Zig-Zag Pattern), (c. 1952)

detail of Untitled (S.843, Mounted Paperfold with Diagonal Black and White Stripes), (c. 1952)

Bottom Row:
detail of Untitled (S.839, Mounted Paperfold of Columns of Alternating Black and White Parallelograms), (c. 1952)

detail of Untitled (S.843, Mounted Paperfold of Alternating Vertical Black and White Stripes), (c. 1952)
