Artists’ Contribution to Parkett 100/101
”(Parkett) has always been such a great beacon of intelligence and exuberance, not to mention a constant source of inspiration to me. When I first visited the Parkett offices with you in Zürich I remember feeling so totally excited to be there and surrounded by all that energy and art; the pleasures of making and thinking were truly infectious! To have been part of this in even a very small way is still one of my proudest moments."
