Tufte:Information design’s magical curator
According to this Information Research Institute article: "Edward Tufte is the magical curator of information design. Following in the grand tradition of 19th century museum curators, his books are masterpieces of the exhibitor’s art. The exhibits are extracted from their daily contexts of use and beautifully displayed with his engaging and fascinating commentary. Tufte has given us another wonderful show and continues to stimulate a wide public interest in the information designers’ craft and achievement." (2000-10-08)
