The Guggenheim Museum features the works of Ruth Asawa and Richard Serra. Ironically or was it a curatorial reflection on the source of the Guggenheim fortune that both works rely on the profound nature of metal to express their personal and artistic feelings.
Richard Serra
Serra’s work is at home in this unique area of the museum that requires work that is able to challenge the dimensions of the space. His work is monumental and seeks to alter perceptions of space and proportion’.
Ruth Asawa
“An artist is an ordinary person who can take ordinary things and make them special”.
Asawa’s work hangs patiently in the air providing shadows of their inner self. It is their fragility though no doubt inner strength as a metal that provides an insight into the unique experiences of Asawa as a Japanese American.
