In 1979 Lasch was asked to make one of her large scale, multi tiered acrylic cakes for New York City’s Museum of Modern Art’s 50th Anniversary.

In 2017 she will have her second solo exhibition at the Palm Springs Art Museum which will be a retrospective and will be accompanied by a major catalog.  Lasch’s work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; The Museum of Modern Art, NY; The National Academy Museum, NY; The National Museum of Women in the Arts, DC; and the Broad Museum, CA among others.  She has received The National Academy Museum Award, a Pollock-Krasner Grant, the Rome Prize and a grant from the NEA, to name only a few.
