Many artists including sculptors and painters are demanding compensation for works damaged and lost during the Vietnam Fine Arts Exhibition.
A month after the Vietnam Fine Arts Exhibition closed, many artists are still waiting for feedback from inspectors of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.
They had petitioned the ministry’s Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibition Department, which organized the exhibition, demanding an apology and compensation for losses suffered. But there has been no response from the department so far.
Sculptor Trieu Ngoc Thach, who had one artwork broken and another lost at the exhibition, is angry and frustrated.
