FIAC Dossier: German Art as Myth or Reality?
A 1989 FIAC dossier questions the identity of German art, noting that two decades earlier no one would have considered a distinct German art scene. The fourth Documenta in Kassel still confirmed more American than German artists. Even Joseph Beuys' first international appearance was not seen as a signal of a German art movement.
