Martin Puryear: Nexus

September 27, 2025–February 8, 2026

For more than half a century, preeminent American sculptor Martin Puryear (b. 1941) has captivated the public with works of beauty, elaborate craftsmanship, and sophisticated sources of inspiration—from global cultures, social history, and the natural world.

Assembling some 45 works from across his career, “Martin Puryear: Nexus” is the first substantial survey of the artist in almost 20 years. The exhibition focuses on the artist’s use of a rich variety of materials and media—from sculptures in wood, leather, glass, marble, and metal to rarely shown drawings and prints. It reflects Puryear’s singular artistic practice, one that combines the distinctive techniques of production with the formal histories he has encountered through a lifetime of movement, research, and study.
