Lehmann Maupin presents Detritus, Tom Friedman’s first major New York exhibition in nearly a decade. Known for pushing material boundaries, Friedman now enters the realm of traditional painting on canvas. Depicting discarded objects, studio remnants, and still lifes, his works transform refuse into intricate compositions. Through meticulous technique and layered reference, Detritus invites reflection on perception, presence, and the unexpected beauty of the everyday.
