В Далласе на месте знаменитой росписи Уйланда появилось новое граффити с изображением кита

Dallas Whaling Wall has new whale artwork DALLAS - The infamous whale wall in Dallas has been repainted with a new whale… sort of. Killer Whale What we know: Photos taken by a FOX 4 photographer on Friday showed whale graffiti painted on the side of the building where world-famous environmental artist Wyland’s whale mural once was. The new artist added the caption "killer whale" to their work. What we don't know: Officials have not yet commented on the graffiti. Dallas Whaling Wall The backstory: The artist known simply as Wyland painted the whales in Downtown Dallas nearly 30 years ago to promote awareness of marine pollution. He even received a key to the city of Dallas when the piece was finished in 1999. Wyland’s work includes 100 large murals in landlocked cities across the globe. The eight-story Dallas mural spanned two sides of the building at 505 North Akard Street. In May, crews began painting over the mural to make way for a mural promoting the FIFA World Cup. Only a small portion remains untouched. Wyland has also filed a lawsuit against FIFA for authorizing the destruction of the mural, saying "though FIFA claims they are working to develop art for the host city, in truth, they defaced a historic fixture of the host city."
