“… Parkett charts a vast array of changes that have swept through the art world since the 1980s … including not only the inevitable march of new and old ideas … but through Parkett’s history one can study the increasing interconnectedness of artistic centers across the globe and the impact of new technologies on artmaking. Parkett really is a special case... and has influenced artists in ways that stretch far beyond exhibition and publishing, and this influence will likely continue well into the future,” noted Glenn Phillips, curator and head of Modern and Contemporary Collections at the Getty Center in Santa Monica.
