German artist Anselm Kiefer has voiced his protest over the holding of his first show in China, while the organisers claim it is within their rights to do so. The artist said he wasn’t involved with the ongoing exhibition titled “Anselm Kiefer in China”. The exhibition only shows the German artist to Chinese audiences and does not involve sales, she added. In his email to China Daily, Kiefer said that he “wasn’t consulted about this planned exhibition of my work in China”. Baijiahu Art Museum in Nanjing was previously expected to be the first stop of the touring show.
