About The Event
Members see it first! Developed in close collaboration with Martin Puryear (American, born 1941), this exhibition introduces new audiences to one of the most celebrated and influential artists of our time.

The exhibition also highlights the global histories that have inspired Puryear’s practice, offering a fresh and timely perspective on his impactful body of work.
Members also receive free exhibition tickets throughout the run of the show. The exhibition is on view from April 12 through August 9, 2026, at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
