MoMA Museum of Modern Art

The Museum of Modern Art will present a major exhibition of the sculpture of the acclaimed American artist Martin Puryear (b. 1941). The retrospective will feature approximately forty-five sculptures, following the development of Puryear's artistic career over the last thirty years. Puryear's works, often deceptively simple, can be associated with the sentiments of his minimalist contemporaries, but his supremely quiet, poignant forms continually defy further categorization and reflect his own unique style. These often monumental sculptures are distinctly sophisticated, especially highlighting his master skills.

Organized by John Elderfield, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, Martin Puryear will be accompanied by a publication that will illustrate all works in the exhibition with additional reference illustrations of the artist's works and other comparative material.
