Karl Oskar Blase, the “face of documenta”, would have turned one hundred years old on March 24, 2025. The Kassel-based graphic designer and professor of art and visual communication had been working for documenta since 1964 and had a unique influence on its appearance. To celebrate his milestone birthday, the documenta archiv is dedicating a multimedia studio exhibition to him in its Reading Room.
The Swiss dancer, object artist and inventor of Eat Art, Daniel Spoerri, has died at the age of 94. As a founding member of the Nouveaux Réalistes, he became famous in the 1960s with his “trap pictures”, the “tableaux pièges”.
