Robert Wyland, famed for his giant ocean murals, is suing FIFA for $25 million after his beloved 30-year-old Dallas mural “Ocean Life” was painted over without warning or consent to make way for a World Cup promotion. The mural, one of Wyland’s favorites and a cherished community landmark, was erased before he could touch it up — a personal and legal blow he calls a David vs. Goliath battle. He’s invoking the Visual Artists Rights Act, plans to donate any winnings to charity, and is determined to uncover who authorized the destruction — challenging the notion that such a mural is “past its useful life,” likening it to the Mona Lisa. FIFA denies involvement, blaming the host city, but emails hint otherwise. The legal fight continues as new mural work stalls amid finger-pointing.
