Here for the first time a complete presentation and comprehensive appraisal of the work of Harald Szeemann, who, seen internationally, is without doubt the most creative of today's exhibition makers. Numerousdocuments, notes, sketches, photos, commentaries, reactions, explanations and recollections convey an extremely lively picture of how Szeemann's ideas and concepts are put into practice, his philosophy and understanding of art: with by through because towards despite. The diverse and informative material reflects the development of art in the second half of the 20th century. An indispensable working tool and reference work covering the history of art of the last 45 years. A detailed bibliography completes the work.
