...been talking to Puryear about Maroon, a large, dark, bulbous form made mostly from wood and wire mesh covered with tar. The piece is part of his triumphant retrospective that opens Nov. 4 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, which was organized by John Elderfield, MOMA's chief curator of painting and sculpture.

In Venice, the five boxes were lifted by crane onto a barge in front of the museum and borne to the port of Tronchetto, from where they were trucked to Frankfurt to join a cargo flight with about 50 crates...
