As an artist, Asawa forged a groundbreaking practice through her ceaseless exploration of materials and forms. As an educator and civic leader, Asawa\u2019s impact on San Francisco can still be felt today.<\/p>\n<p><b>Take in the breadth and depth of Asawa&#8217;s creative practice.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find many of her signature suspended looped- and tied-wire sculptures alongside lesser-known works, including a selection of her sculptural \u201cminiatures\u201d \u2014 the smallest measuring just over one inch in diameter. From vibrant drawings and paintings to clay masks and cast bronze sculptures, more than 300 works give insight into Asawa\u2019s relentlessly experimental vision.<\/p>\n<p><b>Discover her deep connection to San Francisco.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A gallery that evokes the living room of Asawa\u2019s longtime Noe Valley home opens with the artist\u2019s hand-carved redwood doors, and features cases of her sketchbooks, art by friends that she kept on display, and a rich array of the sculptures that once hung from her ceiling. Archival materials show how Asawa shaped her adopted hometown through numerous public commissions and her dedication to arts education.<\/p>\n<p><b>Participate in keeping her legacy alive.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve built an <a href=\"https:\/\/oralhistory.asawa.sfmoma.org\/\">oral history recording booth<\/a> where you can share and discover community connections to the artist and her work. Live her values through one of the many events we have planned, including programs featuring a garden inspired by Asawa\u2019s own and built by Habitat Horticulture on our Floor 4 terrace.<\/p>\n<p><i>Check back often!
