That would have been just to Richard Lugner's taste: On Wednesday afternoon, this year's Lugner City Opera Ball guest, street artist and DJ Alec Monopoly, will spray a graffiti portrait several meters in size of the master builder, who died in the summer, on an exterior wall of the shopping center. 

The finished work will then be presented to the public at 3 p.m., according to reports.

"Spectacle"
"We are delighted to be able to offer all visitors a unique spectacle. This painting is a tribute to my father," Jacqueline Lugner told APA.

However, this is not the American's only appearance: at 6 p.m., Monopoly will then present his street art to the public on the main square of Lugner City - while accompanying himself musically as a DJ. This will be followed by a VIP event not open to the media.

Graffiti artist
Alec Monopoly is the pseudonym of an anonymous street and graffiti artist from the USA. He became famous for his works that use the well-known Monopoly man from the board game as a motif.
