"Ruth Asawa Through Line" is the first exhibition to focus on the artist’s drawing practice. For Asawa (1926-2013), drawing marked the beginning of a lifelong interest in and commitment to art, playing a foundational role as she experimented with diverse materials and processes to develop a distinct visual language.

Co-organized by the Menil Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art, in close collaboration with the estate of Ruth Asawa, the exhibition presents drawings, collages, watercolors, and sketchbooks alongside stamped prints, paperfolds, and copper-foil works, showing the breadth of Asawa’s innovative practice.
