Loop

Prints and Drawings

2002

Martin Puryear
American, born 1941

As seen with this print as well as the earlier Gate, Puryear has a special ability to produce small works that reveal no shortage of power or completeness despite their scale. Indeed, Loop is one of the artist’s favorite prints, possibly due to its daring succinctness.
