About The Event
Join us for a docent-guided tour of Martin Puryear: Nexus, the most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work in nearly two decades. Developed in close collaboration with Puryear himself, this career-spanning survey traces his innovations from the 1960s to the present, featuring iconic sculptures alongside never-before-seen pieces, prints, and drawings. Your guide illuminates how Puryear’s elegant visual vocabulary is shaped by global material traditions, African American history, and the natural world, offering a deep dive into the expressive power of one of our most influential contemporary artists.
Tours meet their docent at the information desk in the Ames Family Atrium.
