Read a Parkett text on Rosemarie Trockel
Parkett Vol. 95
Quote from Parkett
"Few artist have distinguished themselves by such a radical process-based practice, wildly divergent stlyes, materials, and scales, and unique creativitiy, in which recurrent figures and motifs abound."
Christian Rattemeyer, Parkett No. 99, 2014
Additional Quote
“In this layered seven-color silkscreen print from conceptual artist Rosemarie Trockel, the artist entwines images from her own past with those of Parkett. Contrasting black and white images are set against a background of bright horizontal stripes, and the work takes its title from the James Joyce novel of the same name. Ever-shifting in her process, materials and approach to subject matter, Trockel’s work challenges notions of feminism, fine art and the relevance of the artist’s hand.” -Artspace

Read a Parkett text on Albert Oehlen
Parkett Vol. 79
Quote from Parkett
“There is method in his madness, madness in his method. Oehlen employs error as method, but if it is deliberate, is it error? Logic is more inescapable than it looks. It’s not enough putting one foot in front of another; maybe you need to put one foot in front of somebody else’s or put the foot in the mouth where it belongs.”
Glenn O’Brien Parkett No. 79, 2007
Additional Quote
“Albert Oehlen’s L.P.A. is a transporting etching and print, one that melds figuration, abstraction, and text. A mustached, three-eyed face and a woman’s body are both discernible—to a simultaneously entertaining and disquieting effect.” -Artspace
"L. P. A.", 2007 (for Parkett 79)

Read a Parkett text on John Wesley
Parkett Vol. 62
Quote from Parkett
“Wesley’s painting looks like nothing else out there. …the most conspicuous characteristics of his work from the seventies on—its insistent flatness, powdered pastel palette, cartoon/cinematographic narratives, embrace of the sexually charged encounter, sophisticated anthropomorphism, and mannered drawing— have enormous appeal amid a digital revolution that has provoked yet another rethinking of the medium.”
Linda Norden, Parkett No. 62, 2001
"Boyfriends", 2001 (for Parkett 62)
6-color silkscreen on Coventry 290 g/m2,

Read a Parkett text on Charline von Heyl
Parkett Vol. 89
Quote from Parkett
"Von Heyl's work abides a Zeitgeist. Each singular painting has been relieved of the burden to justify its existence. The freedom gained is that which allows her to explore the limits of what comes through (from mind to hand) about who we are and what lies in the deeper reaches of the psyche. Her oeuvre charts the inconsistencies that abound."
Joan Waltemath, Parkett No. 89, 2011
Additional Quote
“This striking monotype reveals von Heyl's interest in collage as a mode of expression, brimming over with motifs both abstract and figurative as well as the semblance of printed letters. As the title suggests, this is a lottery, a random draw, inciting the viewer to fill in the gaps on the page, appealing to the arbitrary nature and unexpected connections that we have come to expect of von Heyl's distinctive work.” -Fineartmultiple

Read a Parkett text on Rachel Harrison
Parkett Vol. 82
Quote from Parkett
“To ask what these images want, then, is having to face the possibility that perhaps they want nothing at all, or nothing in particular. Except, of course, to stun and fascinate: to be allowed to ‘matter,’ to be taken into account, to be seen. And something in this scenario is of course reminiscent of the highly theatrical productions of rock, its quasi-ritualistic deployment of ‘looks’ and ‘images’ that revel in the crude, the incongruous, the over-sophisticated, and the plain stupid—in short, in the big whatever.”
Ina Blom, Parkett No. 82, 2008
Additional Quote
“Rachel Harrison’s Wardrobe Malfunction is wholly tongue-in-cheek. The musician Prince is pictured in concert at the center of this ten-color lithograph, while overlaying splashes of bold-colored paint activate the composition and in a lively, abstract manner suggest a sort of costume explosion.”
"Wardrobe Malfunction", 2008 (for Parkett 82)

26 3/8 x 18 3/8” (67 x 46,8 cm),

Read a selected text on Jean-Luc Mylayne
Parkett Vol. 100/101
Quote from Parkett
"The couple bought a camper van in the late 1970s and succumbed to a migratory pull. For years, they had no fixed address and, save for a radio, never owned any transmission devices. They would write letters or call from pay phones to keep in touch. These decisions were necessary for the art, which required lengthy periods of absolute concentration on participants predisposed to moving about."
Matthew S. Witkovsky, Parkett No. 100/101, 2017
«TOGETHER» A17, January, February, March, 2007 (for Parkett 100/101)

Read a Parkett Text on Zoe Leonard
Parkett Vol. 84
Quote from Parkett
“It has often been noted that Leonard, in her prints, keeps the black border that occurs in the printing process rather then cropping it out, as a way of integrating the problematics of viewing into the work.”
Elisabeth Lebovici, Parkett No. 84, 2009
Additional Quote
“1 Hour Photo & Video is representative of Zoe Leonard’s celebrated Analogue series. Between 1998 and 2009, Leonard photographed local storefronts, first in New York City and later in cities and towns throughout the world. In poignant images such as this, Leonard pictures casualties of globalization—here, a shuttered photo center in Brooklyn marked with graffiti. Leonard’s inclusion of the black frame edge further complicates the work, connecting the effects of global commercialization to the mass move from analogue to digital photography.”

Read a Parkett Text on Andrea Büttner
Parkett Vol. 97
Quote from Parkett
"Throughout her practice, the artist probes 'tricky' thresholds not often explored in contemporary art – the blurry line between amateur making and fine art production, for instance, or the unexpected relationship between marginal religious experiences and philosophies of modernist contemplation."
Julia Bryan-Wilson, Parkett No. 97, 2015
Additional Quote
“Büttner has remarked that throughout art history—from Joseph Beuys to Nam June Paik—men have destroyed pianos to symbolize the death of bourgeois culture—a violent last gesture in the face of its end. Her silkscreen Piano Stool and the eponymous object are a gentle response to this— a "Wistful reminder of the grand piano that once was". Büttner's visual economy in this print is striking, as curator Aram Moshayedi states: "Büttner's prints instead speak of slowness… insisting on a modesty of means seemingly at odds with the demands of the global art world." -Fineartmultiple

Read a Parkett text on Jordon Wolfson
Parkett Vol. 100/101
Quote from Parkett
”Wolfson’s work examines what happens when ideas or forms that have festered or metastasized in their own dank environments rub up against one another. It is about signs that circulate without consequences.”
Andrew Russeth, Parkett No. 100/101, 2017

Read a Parkett text on Christian Jankowski
Parkett Vol. 81
Quote from Parkett
“Gazing at the pieces (Living Sculptures), it is as though we see their possible states converging. We see hard, metal art products that subscribe to highbrow values of exclusivity and critique become one with an ephemerally performative form of entertainment, reflecting the pop-cultural values of accessibility and empathy; and while collectors appraise the material used in the production process, children clamber all over the figures.”
Jörg Heiser, Parkett No. 81, 2007
Additional Quote
“Christian Jankowski works across video, installation, photography, and the mass media formats of television and cinema… As in his series of unique photographs “Christian Jankowski reads Parkett”… his practice is largely rooted in performance and evolves out of a collaborative process. ... With a subtle sense of humor pervading his work, Jankowski explores the boundaries between art and commerce, challenging the notion of the transformative power of artistic creation as it seeps into popular culture. Known for his critiques of contemporary art production, his work engages both the social and the aesthetic.” -Artspace

Read a Parkett text on Christopher Wool
Parkett Vol. 33
Quote from Parkett
“Wool looks you in the face; he says what you’re used to hearing; he disrupts the communicative power of words; he affirms the communicative power of letters. Someone is shouting, but you can’t tell if that person is trying to make you understand or insisting that you don’t have a clue.”
Greil Marcus, Parkett No. 33, 1992

Read a Parkett text on Wilhelm Sasnal
Parkett Vol. 70
Quote from Parkett
“Wilhelm Sasnal’s economy lies in the fact that he consistently allows his viewers to share in this unresolved ambivalence and the tragic, naive longing to grasp the ungraspable. An ambivalence that might be described as the basis of Sasnal’s visual stock-taking of identity or, to repeat, as a kind of defect of the faculty of perception. Despite their easy ‘legibility’, his pictures resist interpretation while still being of great significance in terms of historical mentality, subculture and opposition.” Gregor Jansen, Parkett No. 70, 2004
"Concorde is Dead", 2004 (for Parkett 70)
Color contact print from engraved negative on Kodak paper,
12 5/8 x 18 7/8” (31 x 47 cm),
Ed. 60/XX, signed and numbered
Read a Parkett text on Sam Taylor-Wood
Parkett Vol. 55
Quote from Parkett
“Not only does Sam Taylor-Wood construct a seamless yet heterogeneous space, in which people are both in close proximity, yet also infinitely distant, because, though in a mutually shared space, they inhabit another site: the scene of their private theater. Her photographic presentation is such that, even as it elicits our desire for narrative, it frustrates our hope for narrative coherence and closure.”

Read a Parkett Text on Kerstin Brätsch
Parkett Vol. 88
Quote from Parkett
"For Brätsch, demonstrative style has ... to do with the mix and match borrowings of high fashion, DIY subculture, and the manufacturing of persona found in advertising and online viral campaigns."
Fionn Meade, Parkett No. 88, 2011
Additional Quote
“These fabric multiples are typical of Brätsch's interdisciplinary practice that critiques marketing techniques and image distribution within contemporary society. This line of multilayer knit pieces can be attached to items of clothing to promote the artist's creations, in a pastiche of the sandwich board. Decomposing advertising strategies from the inside, Brätsch's works reveal different design layers, to be unfolded one by one. The work is made in collaboration with DAS INSTITUT as a joint project with fellow artist Adéle Roeder.” -Fineartmultiple

Read a Parkett text on Nathalie Djurberg
Parkett Vol. 90
Quote from Parkett
"Djurberg and Berg transport us to another world where identity is slippery and morals ambiguous, inspiring us to let go of our pretenses. Their work is unapologetic and brutally honest, sad and funny, fragile and strong, and unabashedly visceral to the core."
Ali Subotnick, Parkett No. 90, 2012

Read a Parkett text on Sylvie Fleury
Parkett Vol. 58
Quote from Parkett
“Sylvie Fleury’s ‘studio work’ thus takes place in all the various realms of social added-value production and fetishization, and she whirls together—codes pertaining to fashion, art, high and low culture, models of male and female self-configuration—appropriating and playing with self-images, life-models, and forms of existence in styling and manner that in effect pulverizes every last hierarchy of sex, class, and genre.”

Quote from Parkett
“You can’t catch up with things that are evident-beautiful, right, definitely compelling (as their defining opposites). It’s a matter of being ahead of calculation or design or definition by exactly that distance that establishes their usefulness.”
