Ruth Asawa
Elizabeth Berrien
I have displayed some artists who have done some amazing work around wire sculptures and if you are interested feel free to look more into these artists. These artists have made some really beautiful pieces of art.
"Elizabeth Berrien, ranked among the world's finest wire sculptors, creates intricately expressive, museum quality wire sculptures of cats, equines, wildlife, humans and botanicals... any subject is possible. The artist has a unique gift for animals portraiture in wire - her wire sculpture wall masks seem to look right at the viewer. Berrien's 37-year career as a wire sculpture is highlighted with a steady string of exhibits in musems and upscale galleries, including Nieman-Marcus and Gump's. Her works are collected worldwide."

"Ruth Asawa (January 24, 1926 – August 5, 2013) was a American sculptor. Known in San Francisco as the "fountain lady", her work is included in prominent art collections such as those of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney in New York. She was a driving force behind the creation of the San Francisco School of the Arts, which was renamed the Ruth Asawa San Francisco School of the Arts in 2010 in tribute to her."(Wikipedia, 2014)
"Alexander Calder (July 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976) was an American sculptor best known as the originator of the mobile, a type of kinetic sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended components which move in response to motor power or air currents. By contrast, Calder’s stationary sculptures are called stabiles. He also produced numerous wire figures, notably for a miniature circus."(wikipedia, 2014)
"Gavin Worth was born in Zimbabwe, Africa in 1981 and grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Gavin was commissioned by Tiffany & Co to make sculptures for their Valentine’s Day window displays globally.
