David Zwirner is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of Ruth Asawa's work in Greater China. Spanning five decades, the works in this exhibition—many of which have never before been displayed publicly—exemplify the various and complementary facets of Asawa's prolific career.
In the spring of 2025, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will present the first major national and international museum retrospective of Asawa's work, organized in partnership with The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Premiering at SFMOMA from April 5 through September 2, 2025, this will be the first posthumous retrospective to feature the entire spectrum of the artist's awe-inspiring practice. From 2025 through 2027 the exhibition will travel to The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain; and the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, Switzerland. In October 2024, Asawa was awarded the National Medal of Arts, the United States government's highest award given to artists and art patrons. Asawa is only the second visual artist to receive this high honor posthumously.
On the occasion of the exhibition, we are pleased to publish Tiffany Bell's recent essay on Asawa's work, titled "Ruth Asawa: Working from Nothing," in full.
