the original Instagram-Post-a terrified visitor to the Städel replied to, it would injured anyone’s feelings. Since the plant is a through-and-through anti-racist. And “ever”. The theme draws its circles. The Städel allowed to do this? A picture show of a black man from an angry mob a brick to the head is thrown? And a traffic light that is Green, wherein the green light is lit, however, where usually the red has its place?
