Tom Friedman

Contributions by Arthur Coleman Danto, Contributions by Ralph Rugoff






| book description |

This book is devoted to Tom Friedman's exceptional body of work over the past nineteen years. Starting with commonplace objects like plastic cups, construction paper and Hefty garbage bags, this prolific artist transforms the often overlooked into playfully philosophical works that are ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.Friedman forces his viewers to reconsider the criteria for what is called art by exploring the material qualities of the object and the experiential process of making art through repetition, mutation, and dimension. While his work can demand a level of trust and reflection, it often rewards the viewer by sparking a childlike curiosity that sets one free to the beautifully endless potential of the everyday.The book features over 250 colour illustrations and encompasses 200 artworks that reflect Friedman's humour, his painstaking craftsmanship, and the unending inventiveness that distinguishes his work.
