Roberta Smith, The New York Times, 7/23/2011, Art in Review, "Reader's Delight"

"The common ground in "Reader's Delight at McKenzie Fine Art is books... Mary Ellen Bartley photographs stacks of pale books suggesting the trompe l'oeil paintings of John Frederick Peto by way of Giorgio Morandi... Maira Kalman, Abelardo Morell, Donna Ruff, Mamiko Otsubo and Mickey Smith expand upon the shared theme."

Martha Schwedener, The New York Times, 9/23/11 on "Artists Choose Artists" at the Parrish Art Museum

"The artists chosen by Ross Bleckner, a painter known for canvases that hover between abstraction and representation, display an ethereal quality similar to his own except in photographs rather than paint. Mary Ellen Bartley takes photographs of books standing on their ends with their pages separated, from the close range at which the images were captured, they end up looking like striated, abstract compositions."
