Martin Puryear's sculptures—in wood, stone, tar, wire, and various metals—are a marriage of Minimalist logic with traditional ways of making. Puryear's exploration in abstract forms retain vestigial elements of utility from everyday objects found in the world. A form that reoccurs in Puryear's work is the hollow mass, a solid shape with qualities of uncertainty and emptiness.

Martin Puryear is featured in the Season 2 episode "Time" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

  • Very short video, but it's great to see this inside of his studio.
