●内容简介——

阿泽以其复杂而独特的艺术语言而闻名，她制作了大量的雕塑、绘画和印刷品，这些作品建立在简单、重复的姿态上，累积成复杂的构图。她的纸上作品和 "连续的 "环形线雕塑暗示了一个波动的正负形式的领域，是重塑我们如何看待世界的一种手段。个人主题在这个迄今为止详细的艺术家作品中再次出现--她的家人、朋友和邻居的面孔的陶瓷模型；阿泽和她的家人为他们的家制作的雕刻前门；以及她的孩子、孙子和丈夫睡觉的图画--所有这些都为艺术家的生活提供了一个广阔的视野。

本书记录了由Helen Molesworth组织的令人惊叹的 "Ruth Asawa: All Is Possible "展览，并对该展览进行了扩展，从Asawa壮观的作品中选出64件作品，提供了作家和策展人的新见解。本书由Molesworth作序，重点介绍了Makeda Best、Taylor Davis、Ruth Erickson、Briony Fer、Jennifer L. Roberts和John Yau的文章。

Known for her intricate and distinct artistic language, Asawa produced numerous sculptures, drawings, and prints that are built on simple, repeated gestures that accumulate into complex compositions. Her works on paper and “continuous” looped-wire sculptures suggest a field of fluctuating positive and negative forms, a means of reshaping how we perceive the world. Personal motifs reappear throughout in the most comprehensive look at the artist’s oeuvre to date––ceramic casts of faces of her family, friends, and neighbors; the carved front door Asawa and her family made for their home; and drawings of her children, grandchildren, and husband sleeping––all providing an expansive look into the artist’s life.

A document of the breathtaking and surprising exhibition Ruth Asawa: All Is Possible, organized by Helen Molesworth, this book records and expands upon the show, offering new insight from writers and curators with a selection of sixty-four works from Asawa’s spectacular oeuvre. With an introduction by Molesworth, this book features focused texts from Makeda Best, Taylor Davis, Ruth Erickson, Briony Fer, Jennifer L. Roberts, and John Yau.
