Ruth Asawa is the artist featured this week on our Artist of the Week PodCast whose tied-wire sculpture Untitled recently came into our collection. For the episode, we traveled to San Francisco to speak with Curator of American Art and Director of Contemporary Programs, Daniell Cornell, at the De Young Museum. Daniell Cornell worked closely with Asawa to curate and plan her retrospective exhibition "Contours in the Air". In addition, we spoke by phone with Aiko Cuneo, Ruth Asawa's oldest daughter, who spoke with us about what life was like living with such a prolific and renowned artist.
