- In 1998 at the Generali Foundation in Vienna the introduction and all consecutive six sections of Mary Kelly’s Post-Partum Document (1973–78) were shown together for the first time in an exhibition. For that occasion, the original Post-Partum Document publication, which this central work includes in book form, was republished. Along with that the first German translation was made available. Rereading Post-Partum Document brings the concept, the context, and the historical and current reception into closer view. This publication thus represents an important supplement to the historical reprint. Published in addition to the documentation of the archival section compiled by Juli Carson are contributions to the symposium and short statements by art historians and artists. In the comprehensive illustration section, which includes many color reprints, Post-Partum Document can be re-experienced from the perspective of a visitor to the exhibition.
