Bryant and board president Marie-Josee Kravis and her husband Henry, and bring the total of Johns work now in MoMA's collection to 19. The Puryear sculpture, which was featured in the artist's recent retrospective at the museum, was a gift from the museum's Painting and Sculpture Committee in honor of curator John Elderfield.
