Item Description
Set in Joshua Tree, California, Noah Purifoy’s “Outdoor Desert Art Museum” is 7.5 acres of open land displaying Purifoy’s assemblage sculptures, all created on-site between 1989 and 2004. It was the dramatic and harsh landscape of the Mojave that inspired Purifoy to create his assemblage pieces, which he referred to as “Environmental Sculpture.” Purifoy intended for his works to be displayed in their natural environment and process of decay. Resisting the ideologies of institutionalized art, Purifoy insisted, “I do assemblage. I don’t do maintenance.” Thus, he beckoned the inclement weather; curious and excited to see what role nature could play in the history of an art piece, he argued that “changes are an integral part of life itself.” Enjoy this exclusive and private docent led tour for a group.
