Daughter of Marisa Merz Cancels Show in Kassel over Documenta's Antisemitism Policy

Marisa Merz (1926-2019) was the only woman among the core group associated with the influential Arte Povera movement, whose artists made sculptures from everyday materials instead of ones typically associated with fine art. Her exhibition was scheduled to open in August at the Fridericianum, which acts as the historic anchor of Documenta during the quinquennial's run and mounts major surveys when that festival isn't taking place.
