Biography:
Martin Puryear was trained in painting, drawing, and sculpture, graduating in 1963. He then joined the Peace Corps, which took him to Sierra Leone where he was inspired by West African craft and tradition. Puryear then moved to Stockholm to attend the Swedish Royal Academy of Art. Upon his return to the United States, Minimalism was a popular movement, an aspect of his life that also held a profound influence on Puryear’s development as a sculptor. In the 1970’s, he set up a studio in Brooklyn, New York that was destroyed by a fire in 1977. Puryear then moved to Chicago. As his reputation expanded, he began exhibiting internationally. Puryear has since relocated to Accord, New York.
