The late Japanese American artist Ruth Asawa is best known for abstract wire sculptures inspired by curvaceous natural forms. But she also regularly drew the floral bouquets that family members, friends and acquaintances gave her over the years for Mother's Day and other occasions. Some of these drawings are currently on view at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as part of a major Asawa retrospective. Asawa died at 87 years old in 2013.

The American composer Alvin Lucier was known for experimental works that explored the physical properties of sound. In Music for Solo Performer from 1965, he strapped sensors to his forehead to transform his own brainwaves into a piece for percussion instruments. His 1997 work Opera with Objects mined the resonance of everyday objects like pencils. Lucier died in 2021 at the age of 90.
