Gerhard Haupt and Pat Binder's
*Documenta 12 - Photo Tour*

Their conclusion:
"This twelfth edition in no way fulfills the claim, found again in the
official statements, that the documenta is ³an authoritative worldwide
seismograph of contemporary art². It has arrived in the precinct of
normality, which means it has become one periodic art exhibition among many
others and has forfeited its former status as a ³world exposition² and
guiding star of international art. "
