Answer
Yes, Joseph Beuys was expelled from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1956. This was due to his unorthodox approach to art and his criticism of the institution. Beuys believed that art should be a tool for social change, and he was not afraid to challenge the status quo. This led to conflict with the faculty and administration of the Kunstakademie, and eventually to his expulsion.
