documenta 2 1959
"Museum of 100 Days".
Artistic Director: Arnold Bode, Werner Haftmann
Based on the success of the first show, the second documenta in 1959 was already made an institution: it was now organized by a limited liability company and the conceptual realization spread among a larger number of art historians. These experts now focused on the post-War period, programmatically subtitling the exhibition "Art after 1945". 1945 was conceived not only as a political caesura. www.documenta.de/
