Ruth Noack, who, together with Roger M. Buergel, was responsible for the twelfth edition of documenta 2007, parted with her documenta material. Within a very short time and thanks to hard-working helpers, the 22 boxes found their way to Kassel. Written documents, rare publications, DVDs, CDs, photographs and slides, including unique documentation of works, shed light on the concept and making of an exhibition characterized by complex criticism of modernism.
We are delighted about this access, which is essential for documenta historiography!
