Lehmann Maupin is pleased to participate in the inaugural edition of OVR: Miami Beach with a solo presentation of work by New York-based artist Nari Ward. The digital showcase will focus on White Lies Subject, a series of cast paper works created during the artist’s residency at Dieu Donné Papermill from 2018–2019.

Widely celebrated for his sculptural installations of found objects, Ward often uses the discards of consumerism, mostly found in his neighborhood in Harlem, in ways that reveal the emotions inherent in everyday objects. Ward re-contextualizes the source materials within his work to create complex, metaphorical juxtapositions that confront social and political issues surrounding race, poverty, and consumer culture.
