Accompanying the landmark exhibition by renowned Hudson Valley-based artist Martin Puryear (born 1941), who is representing the United States at the 58th Venice Biennale, this book captures a high point in the career of one of today's most acclaimed artists. In addition to extensive illustrations of new sculptures made for the Biennale, including a significant site-specific work, the book features major texts by Brooke Kamin Rapaport, Darby English and Anne Wagner. The works and essays demonstrate Puryear's powerful, original and influential engagement with art history and social history on both a personal level, as an African American artist, and universally. With a definitive illustrated chronology of the artist's career over the last fifty years, Martin Puryear: Liberty / Libertàis an essential look at one of the most important artists today, who continues to work at the height of his powers.
