Barbara Asch of Bridgehampton died on June 18. She would have been 91 on July 29.
Ms. Asch was born in Richmond, Virginia, and lived most of her life in New York City, but she never lost her Southern accent. She bought her home in Bridgehampton in 1968.
A graduate of Wheaton College and Cooper Union, she was a book designer and art therapist. Her real love was for making assemblages from found objects as well as using found objects as art, survivors said, doing it long before it became popular; her paintings, drawings and assemblages have been exhibited widely. She was a recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts grant.
Ms. Asch is survived by an extended family of generations and many intimate friends.
