At Modern Art Oxford is a special exhibition: Ruth Asawa – Citizen of the Universe. It is possible to visit before 21 August 2022 and it is so worth seeing it. I was amazed by the beauty of her artwork.
Ruth Asawa was born in US. During the Second World War she was one of the 120,000 Japanese Americans relocated by the US government in camps. It shaped her view of the world and how she related to her national identity. As for her artwork, it’s just stunning.
Modern Art Oxford is free to visit. There is a lovely cafe to have some refreshments and a gift shop. Their address is 30 Pembroke Street, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX1 1BP. Is closed on Mondays, but open all the other days.
This look much more interesting than the exhibit we saw there several years ago. I find the shapes very intriguing.
I’m not always drawn to modern art, but some of these displays are quite stunning.

It’s the same for me, modern art can be a bit too much (strange?!), but I loved these.
I have never visited this museum and with modern art I do like to pick my collections, as it doesn’t all appeal to me. However I love all of the pieces you feature, so i shall definitely be tracking this artist’s exhibitions, if I can’t make it to Oxford in time! 🙂
I am not too keen on modern art either. This artist made such beautiful pieces, these are worth seeing in person.
