Loop
2002
Martin Puryear American, born 1941
United States
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.
Soft ground etching, with drypoint on cream Japanese paper, laid down on white wove paper (chine collé)
