Created in 1965, Plane Trees II is one of the fifty-four prints Ruth Asawa created with a team of master printers during her residency at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. In fluid and brushy black ink on white paper, the work features a series of trees receding into the distance and beyond the edge of the paper. Learn more about the artist and hear how Asawa came to believe that the white expanse of paper, such as shown in Plane Trees II, is just as important as the subject depicted.
