The graffiti was reported to be part of a series the artist produced after having been diagnosed with a terminal illness.[2]
In 2017 Fukow took part in the Dzika grafika exhibition held at the Poster Museum, and curated by Tomasz Sikorski.[3] Work could be found across Warsaw including railway tracks along the length of the Warsaw Cross-City Line.[4]
Death
[edit]Following the reported death of the artist, Konrad Smoczny, a local councillor in Żoliborz, put forward an interpellation that examples of Fukow's graffiti on a local cinema be preserved during renovation work. The specific work it was proposed to retain featured a yellow pigeon alongside the verse:

I przegapisz wschód słońca, |
You will miss the sunrise, |
