Conceived as a platform to bring essential artist writings back into circulation, The Parkett Reader revisits texts from the early 1980s through the mid-2000s in a new small-scale text-only format, making them available to a new generation of readers.

Borja-Villel, Harald Szeemann, Tracey Emin, Robert Storr, and Grisela Pollock.
