Parkett journal to cease publication after 100th issue, citing digital age changes
Parkett will stop publishing following its upcoming hundredth edition. The biannual journal's editors—Bice Curiger, Jacqueline Burckhardt, and Dieter von Graffenried—attribute this decision largely to significant shifts in reading habits prompted by digital advancements. Since its 1984 launch, Parkett has been produced in both English and German. The publication's archive is undergoing digitization and will be made accessible online. Under the Parkett name, the editorial team plans to continue organizing exhibitions. This announcement follows Frieze's closure of its Frieze D/E title after 25 issues last autumn. The news was reported on February 23, 2017.
