Judy and Jim posed in front of the Town Hall or Rathaus in Kassel, Germany, home of the documenta. We had just arrived and were walking along on opening day. Kassel is a town in Germany, several hours north of Frankfurt. It was pretty much bombed out during the second world war and has been rebuilt in a nondescript architecture. This town hall obviously survived bombings. Documenta began in Kassel in 1955 when painter and professor Arnold Bode wanted to highlight various artistic groups of the 20th century. It began with 570 works of art from 148 artists.
