02documenta and Kassel
The city of contemporary art since 1955
In 1955, Arnold Bode showed art in the war-damaged Fridericianum that had previously been condemned as “degenerate” – the beginning of documenta. Since then, the world exhibition of contemporary art has returned to Kassel regularly, in 2027 for the 16th time.
Much remains between editions, too: Joseph Beuys’ oak trees shape the cityscape, and in front of the KulturBahnhof opposite our hotel, Jonathan Borofsky’s “Man Walking to the Sky” climbs into the sky – a work from documenta 9 in 1992.
