documenta archiv

Founded by Arnold Bode in 1961 and since operated by the City of Kassel, the documenta archive was symbolically entrusted to documenta GmbH in a festive ceremony on 15 July 2015. The transfer will become official on 1 January 2016. From that point on, the documenta archive will be funded jointly by the City of Kassel and the State of Hessen, and the annual budget will double to one million euros.
