“... a concise survey of contemporary art.”
Deborah Wye, Chief Curator emerita., Prints and illustrated Books, Museum of Modern Art , New York
“Parkett is my favorite art magazine. The only one I look forward to reading, the only one I learn something from.”
Marilyn Minter
“A source of inspiration, reflection, revelation and delight … the multi-perspectival approach to writing; the puzzle-book spines; the finger on the pulse choice of artists; and the alluring programme of editions: these are the ingredients that make Parkett one of the most influential forces in post war art…”
Iwona Blazwick, Director, Whitechapel Art Gallery, London
