While best known for her hanging wire sculptures, San Francisco artist Ruth Asawa worked in many different forms, and the current retrospective at SFMOMA includes drawings, prints, public art and clay masks. But the vast exhibition also includes more than 75 hanging wire sculptures and a great many other tied wire forms. This is a blockbuster show that will please Asawa’s legion of fans in the Bay Area and remains on view through Sept. 2.

Jeanette Pettibone and Dragana Monson join Rodney to talk about this revered local artist whose highly original art forms resound far beyond the Bay Area.
