Rafael Tamayo Franco, director of the Medellín Museum of Modern Art, has discussed a new book about Colombian painter Débora Arango in an interview with ‘Generación’, the cultural publication of Colombian newspaper ‘El Colombiano’.
The interview was highlighted by the museum in a social-media post published on 16 August 2026. The post presents the publication as ‘Débora Arango. La pintora que incomoda’—‘Débora Arango: The Painter Who Makes People Uncomfortable’—and identifies Tamayo Franco as having worked on the book.
“Este libro es una manera de que la obra de Débora Arango esté ahí para todos,” Tamayo Franco said in the quoted statement, translated as: “This book is a way for Débora Arango’s work to be there for everyone.” The remark frames the publication as an effort to make Arango’s work accessible to a broad public.
The announcement provides no further bibliographic information about the book, including its publisher, publication date, format or distribution. It also does not describe a related exhibition, launch event or programme at the Medellín Museum of Modern Art. The museum’s post directs readers to the ‘Generación’ interview for the discussion of the volume.
The item places the museum’s director in conversation with the work of Arango through a publication rather than announcing a new museum presentation. The source identifies Arango as a painter and describes the book as a project carried out together with Tamayo Franco, but does not specify the other participants or the precise roles involved.
The Medellín Museum of Modern Art, known as MAMM, shared the interview through its institutional channels. Beyond the quoted statement and the book’s title, the available announcement leaves the publication’s additional contents and release details unspecified.
