2000

A 2000 issue of the art journal Parkett that doubles as an artist-oriented project, assembled to showcase commissioned contributions and an insert by contemporary artists including Chuck Close, Diana Thater, Luc Tuymans, and Shirana Shahbazi.

The cover is dominated by a jewel-toned, false-color image of the sun—a glowing, swirling orb—set beneath a heavily textured, ornamental 'PARKETT' masthead and bold stenciled type, blending scientific spectacle with handcrafted typographic drama.

Parkett played a crucial role in late‑20th-century art culture by commissioning artists to produce editorial content and editions, turning the magazine itself into a collaborative artwork and a platform that broadened how contemporary art was disseminated and collected.
