Upcoming Exhibitions:

Ruth Asawa at Cavallo Point

June - September, 2008
Cavallo Point

Cavallo Point - the Lodge at the Golden Gate is located in Fort Baker, just one mile from the town of Sausalito and across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. Fort Baker is part of the Golden Gate National Park.

Please join us at Cavallo Point for this special exhibition of sculpture by Ruth Asawa. The sculpture is on generous loan from Ruth’s eldest son, Xavier Lanier, and his wife Gerri Lanier. As superintendent, Xavier led the careful restoration of the historic officers quarters at Cavallo Point. It is a distinct pleasure to honor the accomplishments of both mother and son with this inaugural exhibition. Located on the historic parade ground, the Baker Building will feature a rotating art exhibition program to include a variety of media. These exhibits are free and open to the public. This special exhibition was organized by Anne Veh, art curator at Cavallo Point. Learn more about Cavallo Point »

My Mom, Ruth Asawa Lanier
I never thought of her as special. I was number one of six children and I didn’t realize that my family was not a normal family. While raising six kids she worked on her sculptures and all the while had dinner ready every evening, not quite a typical mom. Dad’s birthday was always celebrated with Imo (Imogen Cunningham) who had the same birth date, at Fort Chronkite or somewhere outdoors. I also thought Imo was a normal friend. It was not until I was older that I realized how abnormal and incredible my mother and Imo were as artists. Mom’s greatest gift is making children and others realize how talented and unique they all are and to bring smiles to their faces. I feel like the luckiest abnormal son in the city. I love you, Mom.
