German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will not visit the documenta exhibition this year amid allegations of anti-Semitism linked to the contemporary art show.

"Olaf Scholz is a big fan of the documenta and has probably not missed a documenta in the past 30 years. However, he has decided not to visit this year's edition," a government spokeswoman told dpa.
