“Doing is living. That is all that matters.”—Ruth AsawaThroughout her long and prolific career American artist Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) developed innovative sculptures in wire, a medium she explored through increasingly complex forms using craft-based techniques she learned while traveling in Mexico in 1947. In 1949, after studying at Black Mountain College, Asawa moved to San Francisco and created dozens of wire works, among them an iconic bronze fountain—the first of many public commissions—for the city’s Ghirardelli Square. Bringing together examples from across Asawa’s full and extraordinary career, this expansive volume serves as an unprecedented reorientation of her sculptures within the historical context of 20th-century art. In particular, it includes careful consideration of Asawa’s advocacy for arts education in public schools, while simultaneously focusing on her vital—and long under-recognized—contributions to the field of sculpture. Insightful essays explore the intersection of formal experimentation and identity to offer a fresh assessment of this celebrated artist. Richly illustrated with exquisite new installation views, Ruth Asawa: Life’s Work introduces original scholarship that traces the dynamic evolution of form in the artist’s work.Published in association with the Pulitzer Arts FoundationExhibition Schedule:Pulitzer Arts Foundation, St. Louis(09/14/18–02/16/19)

A richly illustrated exploration of Hannah Wilke’s provocative art and trailblazing feminismOne of the most groundbreaking artists to emerge in American art in the 1960s, Hannah Wilke consistently challenged the prevailing narratives of women’s bodies and their representation throughout her career, until her untimely death in 1993. Wilke established a uniquely feminist iconography in virtually all of the mediums she engaged with—painting, sculpture, photography, video, and performance art—and offered a life-affirming expression of vitality and bodily pleasure in her work.Hannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake highlights the artist’s full range of expression, bringing together photographs, works on paper, video, and examples of Wilke’s sculptures in clay and other, nonconventional materials such as latex, kneaded erasers, and chewing gum. New object photography brings clarity to Wilke’s boundary-crossing art practice, making many of her rarely shown works accessible to readers for the first time. The book features a previously unpublished 1975 interview with Wilke by art critic and historian Cindy Nemser as well as a narrative chronology of Wilke’s art and life with many previously unpublished archival photographs. It includes essays by Glenn Adamson, Connie Butler, and Tamara Schenkenberg, and responses to Wilke’s work by contemporary artists Hayv Kahraman, Nadia Myre, Jeanine Oleson, and Catherine Opie.Offering fresh perspectives on this influential artist, Hannah Wilke: Art for Life’s Sake sheds new light on Wilke’s technical and formal virtuosity, her important role in shaping postwar American art, and the nuance and poignancy of her feminist subject matter.Published in association with the Pulitzer Arts FoundationExhibition SchedulePulitzer Arts Foundation, St. LouisJune 4, 2021–January 16, 2022
