Not quite sure how I was going to post these images in terms of sequences (my stream of consciousness viewing experience or a more stream-lined chronology), I have opted for the latter, which is not very often, if ever, the case for my interests with this blog. However, something about temporal sequence seemed worthwhile in order to contextualize Purifoy's work within a larger art historical framework, one I had, alas, only begun to know during the Hammer Museum's Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles 1960-1980 exhibition of 2011-2012 (see here for my one and only image; see here for the Hammer's coverage).
To further complicate matters in my recent viewing of this exhibition regarding the sculpture below, I neglected to get a title and date. So, if anyone can help in this matter, please comment or contact me directly. Disclaimers aside (and there's a lot more that I would like to say about the work and its context), for now please let the images and the details carry the weight of this posting. Thanks and enjoy Purifoy!
