Must-See Exhibits in the Neighborhood

Tom Friedman: Detritus

Until October 18th at Lehmann Maupin

Friedman’s Detritus marks a bold and unexpected turn in the artist’s career, bringing his decades-long exploration of materiality, perception, and transformation into the realm of traditional painting. With meticulous detail and conceptual rigor, Friedman elevates everyday scraps like crushed bottles, tangled yarn, and discarded fragments into meditative, life-sized compositions that hover between realism and abstraction. These works are at once playful and profound, inviting viewers to reconsider the overlooked materials of daily life while also tracing threads of Friedman’s own artistic history. Both intimate and expansive, Detritus offers a rare opportunity to experience one of contemporary art’s most inventive minds reinventing himself on canvas after nearly a decade away from New York.

Deborah Zlotsky - Genealogies

Until October 11th at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts

Zlotsky's sixth solo exhibition at the gallery is a bold new series of abstract paintings that reimagine the language of stripes as both structure and disruption. For Zlotsky, stripes are not only visual patterns, they are timelines, metaphors for cycles of history, and markers of social meaning, from order and grace to the marginalization of outcasts. On her canvases, geometry behaves until it doesn’t: flat stripes warp into dimensional, biomorphic forms animated by invented light, fictional gravity, and trompe l’oeil detail. Drips and smears act as records of time, pressing history against the present, while shifts between clarity and blur echo the slippage between memory and perception. By weaving together precision and accident, beauty and humor, Zlotsky creates psychological as well as visual spaces that speak to the complexities of inheritance, loss, and the continual accumulation of pasts. Genealogies is both dazzling in its formal invention and deeply resonant in its exploration of how abstraction can embody the lived experience of time.

Ken Price: Primal, Physical, Sensual

Until October 25th at Matthew Marks Gallery

This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the full scope of one of the most original sculptors of the last half-century. Spanning from his playful ceramic cups of the 1960s to the biomorphic forms that defined his later career, the exhibition reveals how Ken Price drew inspiration from nature, everyday objects, and the human body to create works that are both seductive and deeply tactile. Many of the thirty sculptures and drawings are being shown for the first time, making this a landmark presentation of Price’s legacy. For anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary sculpture, this exhibition is an essential chance to see how Price transformed ceramics into a primal, physical, and sensual art form.
