About 35 works in wood, rawhide, and other materials trace Washington-born Martin Puryear's evolution as a sculptor from the early 1970s to the present. Puryear's metaphorical poetic objects and arrangements echo functional forms—dwellings, tools, vessels—and his exposure to West African crafts, Scandinavian furniture, and Minimalism.
