An artwork by a group of Indonesian artists that has been criticised for containing antisemitic imagery will be removed from the Documenta contemporary art exhibition in Kassel, the German city’s mayor has announced.
The artwork, a sprawling banner by the Taring Padi collective previously shown at the South Australian art festival in Adelaide last year, includes images of soldiers in riot gear with pigs’ heads, one of them labelled as a member of the Mossad, with a Star of David on his balaclava.
