Harald Szeemann–with by through because towards despite

Finally this major publication about the mythical curator Harald Szeemann is available again. This book was first edited in 2007 by Tobia Bezzola (Curator at Kunsthaus Zürich) and Roman Kurzmeyer and has then been impossible to find for the last years. Now Springer Vienna re-edited this catalogue of all exhibitions, which Szeemann curated throughout his carreer (1957-2005), including important shows on Jean Prouvé, Cy Twombly, Sigmar Polke, amongst many others. Numerous documents, notes, sketches, photos, commentaries, reactions and explanations convey an extremely lively picture of how Szeemann’s ideas and concepts were put into practice.
