Documenta 7

Under the artistic direction of Rudi Fuchs, Documenta 7 focused heavily on painting and sculpture; a departure from previous iterations that emphasized conceptual, performance and video Art.

Amongst the roster of artists was Jean-Michel Basquiat who, at 22 years old, was the youngest Artist to have ever been exhibited at the influential exhibition. This was also the first time his work was included in a major, international Art Exhibition.
