Open Loop: Reconsidering the Relationship Between Mexican Wire Baskets and Ruth Asawa’s Looped-Wire Sculpture

In creating a mesh by looping and interlocking single strands of wire, Asawa defined an intricate shape without precluding a view of its interior; instead, she foregrounded space itself. The artist had learned the basic premise of looping wire into permeable volumes during an American Friends Service Committee volunteer trip to Toluca, Mexico, where in 1947, she encountered—and briefly studied—a unique wire-basketry technique. While today, thanks to a series of critical analyses from 2006 onward, Asawa’s art sits comfortably within the trajectory of radical innovations of modernist sculpture, the Mexican origin and craft pedigree of her signature looped-wire creations are typically cast in a role subservient to the major narrative of the artist’s singular contributions.
