Meet internationally renowned conceptual artist Tom Friedman at this gallery talk held in conjunction with the exhibition Tom Friedman: Untitled (Foundation).

The works on view correspond to existing works in the Mead's permanent collection and mark the first time Friedman has drawn artistic inspiration directly from a museum collection.

Friedman works in a range of media, most famously using Styrofoam and paint to sculpt objects that resonate with contemporary audiences. His most recent work is Looking Up, a large-scale (over 30 feet high) stainless steel figure gazing skyward on Park Avenue and East 53rd St. in New York City.

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Friedman lives and works in Massachusetts and teaches in the graduate program in art at UMass Amherst. Later in May, his work will be featured in the MASS MoCA exhibition Explode Every Day: An Inquiry Into the Phenomena of Wonder in North Adams, Massachusetts.
