The Documenta 15 set out to foster dialogue between the Global South and the Global North. But instead, the international contemporary art exhibition was rocked by an anti-Semitism scandal.

“This line marks a racist drift in a pernicious structure of censorship,” the curators of Document 15 wrote in an open letter.

Members of the group discuss how they plan to move forward in the wake of a controversy that erupted around their work in Documenta 15.

Another antisemitic exhibit has surfaced at the documenta art exhibition in Germany. Management is accused of burying its head in the sand, while Jewish groups ask if the art show will continue.

“A lot of trust has unfortunately been lost,” said the board in its statement.

The head of the Kassel art exhibition documenta has resigned four weeks after an antisemitic artwork was unveiled. It's about time, DW's Stefan Dege writes.

Plus, Poly Auction's Hong Kong evening sale generated $57.3 million and Documenta is posting record attendance.

The artist's withdrawal comes shortly after a high-profile antisemitism consultant resigned for similar reasons.

Digital marketplace Misa.art is offering works by the likes of Louise Bourgeois and Sigmar Polke at five- and four-figure prices.
