‘Since 1973... I have positioned my work not so much between, but alongside, pure abstraction and figurative imagery’ — McArthur Binion
Lehmann Maupin presents Beyond Form, an exhibition that gathers seven artists who explore notions of abstraction: Sanford Biggers, McArthur Binion, Frank Bowling, Lee Bul, Zhang Huan, Angel Otero, and Vaughn Spann. The works on view, which span painting, embroidery, photography, and mixed media, reflect limitless formal possibilities. Beyond Form contests abstraction’s traditional history by invoking content beyond form. Personal and public narratives are present, and the haptic emerges through tactile surfaces and unconventional materials, pushing the limits of abstract materiality to conjure the personal and the communal at once.



Rachel Lehmann and David Maupin founded Lehmann Maupin in 1996. The gallery represents a diverse range of American artists, as well as artists and estates from across Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. It has been instrumental in introducing numerous artists from around the world in their first New York exhibitions.
