The&nbsp; the reception in Kassel, and the disappointment with what Kienholz saw as a&nbsp;lack of courage in American society &nbsp;to confront and tackle very serious social and ethnic conflicts, prompted him to move to Europe.

Three of his works are in the museum collection and the museum showed a major exhibition of his works in 1979.
