Every few years since 1955, the creators of documenta set themselves the task of providing an insight into current trends in art and of capturing the zeitgeist of recent art production. Despite its name, documenta’s primary concerns are neither with the simple documentation of individual artists and their work nor with developments in art history, but instead with providing a historical space where art reflects and comments on social constellations and political or social change, or demands it through art interventions. documenta is not only a historical testimony and event, but also a show at which – through the medium of art— self-interpretation becomes the catalyst for debate and historical change. For the first time, this book places the history of documenta in the context of the political, cultural and societal development of Germany during the second half of the twentieth century, illustrating how art and history can be explored in terms of a mutually dependent relationship.

1955 fand die erste documenta in Kassel statt. Zunächst als einmalig konzipiert, ist sie zu einer heute alle fünf Jahre wiederkehrenden, grundlegenden Ausstellung und Reflexion zeitgenössischer Kunst geworden. In seinem Essay, 1987 an der University of British Columbia, Vancouver, als Vorlesung gehalten, beleuchtet Ian Wallace die erste documenta, die nach dem 2. Weltkrieg ebenjenen Künstlern ein Forum bieten wollte, die im Nationalsozialismus als »entartet« verfemt worden waren. Die erste documenta ist gleichermaßen Spiegel wie Protagonist des kulturellen und politischen Klimas der Nachkriegszeit und hat unter der Führung von Arnold Bode, mit Unterstützung Werner Haftmanns, wesentlich zum Siegeszug der Abstraktion beigetragen, der West-Deutschland den Anschluss an die europäische Moderne verschaffte. Ian Wallace (*1943) ist Künstler. Er lebt in Vancouver und hat an der University of British Columbia sowie der Emily Carr University of Art and Design gelehrt. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
