Read our blog post on Martin Puryear’s exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum! His work is on view through this Sunday. "A member of the Postminimalist generation, Martin Puryear has distinguished his career with an enduring commitment to traditional yet diverse methods of craft. While the artist is best known for his abstract handmade sculptures, drawing has always been vital to his artistic practice. "Martin Puryear: Multiple Dimensions" offers a remarkable glimpse into Puryear’s creative evolution and working process.

Since the late 1960s, Puryear’s drawings have mostly been preliminary studies for three-dimensional works. Spanning two gallery spaces, the exhibition ranges from quick sketches to monumental etchings and comprises about seventy works, many of which are works on paper, including quick sketches, prints, and process drawings for his sculptures. Culled largely from the artist’s personal collection, these never before seen works carry evidence of the artist’s hand, his exploration of materials and angles, and his experimentation with variations on similar forms. In these drawings, one can also observe the artist’s various methods of building, joining, deconstructing, and reconstructing." Go to drawingcenter.org and click on the lower left circle.
