Blurry and yet distinct: in an unmistakable fashion, the painting created in 1964 depicts Arnold Bode, who initiated the documenta art exhibition in Kassel in 1955.

The model “Destroyed Church” recalls the eponymous outdoor artwork by Tadashi Kawamata that was on view in the centre of Kassel during the documenta 8 in 1987.

Two red rubber mats illuminated with neon tubes show relief-like patterns. As the title suggests, the artist dealt with railway maps of the German State Railways.

Engine, prayer, litany – in Thomas Bayrle’s kinetic artwork presented at the documenta 13 in 2012, acoustics and movement are combined to a unique sculptural composition.

Three sketchy figures, partially naked and apparently scared, can be seen against an abstract background. The Cahn’s paintings confront the audience with an array of emotions.

When walking along the bank of the Fulda in Kassel, it immediately catches the eye: the monumental Pickaxe by Claes Oldenburg. The model refers to the significant outdoor artwork of the documenta 7.

A view below the ground: the model illustrates the construction of Horst Hoheisel’s counter-monument “Aschrottbrunnen” which was sunk into the ground at Rathausplatz in Kassel.
