A Brother's kiss's famous graffiti is missing.

As the longest relic of the Berlin Wall, the "East Gallery" is full of graffiti works. At that time, Vrubel and other 1 17 artists from 2 1 countries left graffiti on the wall 13 16 meters long, and his famous "A Brother's kiss" was based on 1979, the former Soviet leader Brezhnev and democracy. However, this week, when he came to Germany again at the age of 48, he was shocked to find that "A Brother's kiss" had been "stolen"-the wall where the graffiti was originally located was empty, and only the Russian slogan on it was faintly visible!

Vrubel flew into a rage and said that A Brother's kiss had been deleted without his permission. When he read in the newspaper that the Berlin Wall would be repaired, A Brother's kiss had been looted. "These barbaric acts ruined my painting," Vrubel said discontentedly. "This is an insult to the artist."

Regarding Vrubel's accusation, Kani Allawi, a spokesman for the East Gallery and an artist who left paintings in the Berlin Wall, responded: "This is a complete misunderstanding." He explained that because the walls near the main roads have been exposed to the wind, rain and turbid air for many years, many paintings on the walls have fallen off, so renovation is really a last resort. "We only paint with cheap pigments. In order to better preserve the Berlin Wall, all graffiti should be wiped off with steam. After the wall is repaired, the original painter will be asked to repaint the old works and use rain-proof pigments. "

Vrubel bluntly said, "I have no problem with the renovation of the East Gallery. However, I can't draw the original A Brother's kiss any more. This is not as simple as making a sandwich! " He also complained that although he received 3,000 euros compensation from the official organization this time, his paintings have been printed on mugs, postcards and plates many times in Berlin over the years, but he didn't get any money. In this regard, Allawi pointed out that according to German law, art created in public space is not protected by copyright. If Vrubel has any objection, he can appeal.
