I promise - this is my last flickr photopost (today). clicky on the picky to see it full size or any of Joe's other photos.

Her work is extraordinary to say the least! Intense, fragile, and surreal.

Robert - I loved her work. Thank you again for guiding us through the wonderful DeYoung yesterday!

I don't always like Ruth Asawa's work (especially some of her commissions, but I do love the "Contours in the Air" wire pieces.

I couldn't keep my camera away from them either:



Looks like you boys had a great time!

I love that fountain!!!! and stop by there every.single.time I'm in the city.

It's not my favorite fountain of hers; I like the one at the Hyatt and the one in Japantown more.

It clearly has a fan in you, though--so I promise to look at it with fresh eyes the next time I am in Ghirardelli Square! :)
