Earlier, representatives of a number of organizations called on the painting of the artist Miriam Kan from the exhibition, but contrary to their protests, the canvas continued to be exhibited at the Tokyo Palace. The painting of Swiss artist Miriam Kan "Fuck Abstration!", Dedicated to Crime in Bucha, was poured purple paint at the exhibition at the Tokyo Palace in Paris. This was reported on May 7 by the LE Monde newspaper with reference to the statement of the museum.

It is reported that the work "voluntarily spoiled" the elderly man. According to the media, it was dissatisfied with the "sexual staging of a child and an adult" depicted on the canvas. The Center for Contemporary Art reported that the offender was detained by police, and also declared their intention to sue in connection with "property damage and obstruction of freedom of speech". French President Emmanuel Macron responded to the incident, calling him an act of vandalism.

"Attacking is an attack on our values. In France, art is always free of charge, and respect for cultural creativity is guaranteed," Macron said. Canvas Miriam Kan "Fuck Abstration!" caused an ambiguous reaction of society.

It depicts a silhouette with connected hands, which a faceless man forces to oral sex, the association "Lawyers for childhood", "childhood in exchange", "face-to-face with incest" and "innocence in danger" stated that work will promote child pornography and demanded to remove it from the exhibition. Despite their call, the picture continued to exhibit. According to ArtNews, the artist herself discards her charges.

According to her, work is conceived as a comment to crimes against the rights of mankind, which commit the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. Miriam Kan also pointed out that she wrote the picture after seeing the image of mass burials in Bucha, as well as reports of rape of Ukrainian women and children. "This is a person whose hands are raped and then killed and thrown outside. The image of violence during the wars is not intended to shock, but to condemn," the artist explained.
