His stunning sculptures explore themes of identity, ethnicity, and history, and are rich with social and cultural commentary. Puryear, who is known for abstract, large-scale pieces in wood, stone, and bronze, has captured the attention of the art world for the past 30 years. Despite the apparent simplicity of his works, however, he engages in an extensive iterative process that has, until now, been unknown. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eMartin Puryear: Multiple Dimensions\u003c\/i\u003e explores that process, featuring numerous drawings, prints, and small-scale sculptures that have never before been published. This catalogue is the first to examine Puryear's work across media, providing invaluable insight into his visual thinking, from sketches to working drawings and constructions for sculpture. Handsomely illustrated with nearly 120 color plates that demonstrate the evolution of Puryear's ideas between drawings, prints, and sculptures, this beautiful volume draws back the curtain on the methodology of this important and enigmatic artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMorgan Library and Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/09\/15-01\/10\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/07\/16-05\/01\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (05\/27\/16-09\/06\/16)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Art Institute of Chicago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300184549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 8.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Mark Pascale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431866822837,"sku":"9780300184549","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0993cd23-0696-409a-ad25-d13b7f91350b.jpg?v=1721138591","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/martin-puryear-multiple-dimensions-9780300184549","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
