An artist painted a mural of life-sized whales in Dallas — then FIFA painted over it for the World Cup
An artist has filed a $25 million lawsuit against FIFA and other entities, alleging they illegally painted over his large whale mural in Dallas to promote the World Cup. The artist, Wyland, claims his 17,000-square-foot "Whaling Wall 82" mural, which stood for nearly three decades, was destroyed without his consent or notification. He asserts this action violates the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990, a federal law protecting publicly displayed artwork. AI
