Artist sues FIFA for $25M over destroyed Dallas whale mural

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
