Documenta is the world's most prestigious recurring exhibition of contemporary art, held every five years in Kassel, Germany. Founded in 1955 by artist and curator Arnold Bode as a means of rehabilitating Germany's cultural life after World War II, documenta has grown into a 100-day event that defines global discourse in contemporary art. Each edition is shaped by a distinct curatorial vision, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors and generating debates that reverberate through the art world for years. Documenta is not a commercial fair but a cultural institution.
