17 November, 2021

Medrie MacPhee: Words Fail Me is a catalog presenting the works exhibited in the artist’s solo show with the same name at Tibor de Nagy Gallery (January 30 – March 6, 2021). The book includes 13 plates showing the paintings in the exhibition, as well as texts by Amy Sillman and Nicole Eisenman.

“Over time you have unburdened yourself from the rules of depiction and yet you still depict the feeling of being a witness to something, even if it’s the unfolding logic of your own work.” * – Amy Sillman

“Medrie’s work, however, is too smart to insist on its newness. Her paintings show how exciting deliberation can be.” ** – Nicole Eisenman
