The United States Department of State is exploring the potential sale of an artwork by Kehinde Wiley, which was recently removed from the U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic. The decision to remove the piece followed actions taken by officials from the Donald Trump administration.
The removal and proposed sale of the painting have drawn attention due to its classification as 'woke' in local reporting. The State Department is currently evaluating the next steps for the piece, which was previously displayed as part of the embassy's collection.
