What was happening in the year in which our main artwork for this issue, Gerhard Richter’s »Woman walking down the stairs«, was created? What was in the news, what was occupying people’s minds, and which developments determined daily life, or not? In our series »The Year X« we take a closer look at a year and fill the number with life. All the different areas of life play a role here: Politics and history, arts, meteorology, the public sphere. We reconstruct the historical context to paint the bigger picture. In this issue: the year 1965.
