Celebrated San Francisco sculptor Ruth Asawa has a public high school named after her and a day each year in her honor. On Tuesday, April 30, she will add to that list an ultimate online tribute: a Google Doodle.

Starting at 9 p.m. Tuesday, anyone anywhere in United States who does a Google search will see an image of the late Asawa looping one of her trademark wire baskets. It will also illustrate the search box in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Israel. The standard 24-hour exhibition of the Google Doodle ends at 9 p.m. Wednesday, May 1, the first day of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

By then millions will have seen the unsigned color drawing by Google staff artist Alyssa Winans. It shows Asawa kneeling on a carpet while applying overhead stitching to a crochet wire basket. Filling out the graphic are five more of Asawa’s crochets all in a row, like ornaments hanging from a tree.

The Google Doodle has been around since 1998, when Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page tweaked their corporate logo to hint at their attendance at Burning Man. Since then, there have been some 2,000 Doodles, all chosen after careful consideration by the Google Doodle Team.

As a teen, Asawa was swept up in the internment of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast during World War II. She received her earliest art instruction from fellow internees and graduated from high school, in 1943, while in an internment camp in Arkansas. She was then allowed to leave to attend college and studied at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. She landed in San Francisco, where she raised six children with her husband, architect Albert Lanier.

Among her permanent installations are Japanese American Internment Memorial Sculpture in San Jose and the Garden of Remembrance, which includes boulders representative of 10 internment camps, at San Francisco State University.

Asawa was a steadfast advocate for arts education and pushed for the creation of a public arts high school in San Francisco. Founded in 1982 as San Francisco School of the Arts, it was renamed the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts in 2010. Since 1982, the city of San Francisco has also declared Feb. 12 Ruth Asawa Day.

Asawa died in 2013, at age 87. In addition to the one-day art collection as a Google Doodle, her work lives on in the permanent collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the de Young Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, plus several works of public art throughout San Francisco. The Doodle of her will provide a biography.

“She was most proud of what she did in the public schools,” said her son, Paul Lanier, “and having so many people see the Google banner will draw their attention to learn more about her.”
