Lehmann Maupin returns to FOG with a presentation that foregrounds a wide range of artistic mediums, illustrating the possibilities unlocked by material innovation and intervention. Highlights include new works by California-based artists Todd Gray and Catherine Opie, who skillfully probe the limits of photography. Lehmann Maupin’s booth will also spotlight works from acclaimed series by painter McArthur Binion and multidisciplinary artist Lee Bul—visual:ear and Perdu, respectively—alongside highlights from other gallery artists including Loriel Beltrán, Billy Childish, Tammy Nguyen, and Nari Ward.

Todd Gray is known for his photo assemblages that critically examine ideas of African diaspora, colonialism, societal power structures, and dominant cultural beliefs. On view at the fair, his works fuse seemingly disparate visuals—including architecture, vintage portraiture, landscape, and more—into a layered synthesis that reveals a fuller picture of the sites and subjects he portrays. By stacking found frames on top of one another, Gray deliberately obscures certain elements of his photographs and strikes a delicate balance between revealing and concealing his subject matter. Looking ahead, Gray will have a solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin New York in early 2025.
