Numerous articles in this issue deal with very current projects that confront the past: Corporate design of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation without red squares, yellow triangles, and blue circles; contemporary forms of presentation that make centuries-old exhibits appear like modern works of art; a book combining the masquerade and imagery of Commedia dell'Arte and haute couture; the "Drawing Fashion" exhibition at the London Design Museum; a review of the Julius Shulman exhibition in Mannheim; as well as the cover story on "Retro," which is no longer a trend but a permanent state.

Also a premiere: Erik Spiekermann's column "The State of Things" is replaced for the first time by Claus Richter's new section "Show & Tell."
