This book examines the documenta exhibitions held between 1955 and 1997, investigating how this influential international art event reflected and engaged with the political, cultural, and social transformations of postwar Germany. More than a showcase of contemporary art, documenta is presented as a platform for critical debate and historical reflection. The book explores themes such as Germany’s reconstruction, the Cold War, and globalization, offering a nuanced perspective on the intersection of politics and artistic expression.
