Curated by \"master-curator\" Harald Szeemann, it was the most expensive and intricate Documenta to date, and remains one of the most important international exhibitions of the past forty years. Entitled \"Interrogation of Reality--Picture Worlds Today,\" it brought together works by Marcel Broodthaers, Christian Boltanski, Arnulf Rainer, Claes Oldenburg, Gerhard Richter and Ed Ruscha (who designed the famous orange, ant-ridden catalogue cover), and inaugurated the art exhibition as spectacle. The film introduces the show's different sections (such as \"Artist's Museum\" and \"Individual Mythologies\"), and also provides a report on the trends and pacesetters of the time, as well as an effort to understand the phenomenon of Documenta itself as it questions the definitions of curator, artist, exhibition and contemporary art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jef Cornelis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3037642580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037642580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jrp Ringier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e DVD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Jef Cornelis","offers":[{"title":"DVD","offer_id":47200969720063,"sku":"9783037642580","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a2c17cd-ff2e-4c29-9c24-e3dfe9baa825.jpg?v=1756788446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/documenta-5-jef-cornelis-9783037642580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
