Special Art Break - Ruth Asawa: Drawing in Space

Jan 15, 12PM-1PM, Asheville Art Museum, 2 South Pack Square, Asheville NC. Join artist Kenn Kotara, known for his kinetic installations, on a guided tour of the exciting exhibition Ruth Asawa: Drawing in Space. This exhibition celebrates the unique career of Ruth Asawa (1926 - ), an artist whose looped-wire sculptures and richly detailed drawings defied traditional conventions. This is Asawa's first solo exhibition in North Carolina and celebrates the gift of her work from artist Lorna Halper. Ruth Asawa: Drawing in Space begins with her earliest sculptures, drawings and paintings created while at Black Mountain College and highlights several signature sculptures that formed her later visual vocabulary of looped and tied open forms. http://www.ashevilleart.org
