Which of the following is NOT true of Anselm Kiefer's "Lot's Wife"? It reminds the viewer of the Holocaust as a way for the artist to come to terms with Germany's actions during World War II. The work is made to deteriorate. The materials fall off and the museum collects those pieces but does not reattach them. The title refers to a Biblical story of Lot leaving Sodom and Gomorrah, with instructions not to look. His wife disobeys and is turned to a pillar of salt (salt is the white at the top of the painting). The painting used to include figures, but the human figures were the first to deteriorate and fall off the painting.
