MATT MAGEE: WORKS 2012–2018
Meet the artist and join us for a public talk and book signing.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Matt Magee: Works 2012–2018 covers a period when Magee transitioned to Phoenix, Arizona, in 2012 after living and working in New York City for thirty years. Magee is a painter, sculptor, printmaker and photographer and over a career spanning four decades has experimented widely with abstract and conceptual art practices. His compositions are organizations of shapes that have been informed by personal history, numerology and language. Repurposing a variety of found and collected media characterizes his sculpture and collage, while his paintings explore language symbolically with an emphasis on repetition, reiteration and nods to art-historical precedents. Since moving to the Southwest, his art explores language and communication as investigative acts. This is his first monograph.
