Artist Contribution to Parkett 100/101
“I’ve always loved Parkett Magazine. From when I first came across the magazine, I loved how it was just so compact with information... I was honored to participate in Parkett Vol. 19 in 1989, with Martin Kippenberger, who was such a great artist and friend. It was a wonderful opportunity to have our works in dialogue with each other’s. It remains to this day one of my favorite publications involving my work….”
