African-American sculptor, Martin Puryear has an exhibit of 30 years of his wood, stone and metal sculptures at the Museum of Modern Art, New York (Thru Jan. 14, 2008). “His work may superficially resemble tools or furniture, but they are imbued with a deep thoughtfulness about American history and cultural identity.”
