Public debates

Under the heading “Because the legislators don't know what they are doing”, Tittel warned on July 10, 2015 in Die Welt about the serious consequences of the law for German museums, collectors and the art trade. In response to this text, Georg Baselitz withdrew his loans from German museums, which followed Max Beckmann's heirs . After severe criticism from other media, the then Federal Minister of State for Culture Monika Grütters published a significantly revised draft law on September 15, 2015.
