Jean-Michel Basquiat In this case 1983 One might have expected that as the Covid drama unfolds, the world would return to its scientific senses.

Keith Haring Retrospect 1989 In 1884, Dr. Edwin Abbott Abbott published a book named Flatland. He appears to have meant it mainly as a social critique, but it became more famous as a mathematical “treatise”, when Einstein proposed the existence of a fourth dimension.
