The Yet Unknown Hundertwasser

Arguably the most popular Austrian artist, Friedensreich Hundertwasser was also one of the country s most controversial. Whether designing flush-free toilets or peace flags, building apartments with slanting floors or filming documentaries this brilliant iconoclast left evidence throughout the world of his talents and passions. Hundertwasser s beloved KunstHausWien is home to the only permanent collection of the artist s works. More than 200 color illustrations display the characteristics of Hundertwasser s style: his penchant for the circular over the linear; his political posters and postage stamp designs; his architectural projects both unrealized and completed. A summary of Hundertwasser s work by his close friend Joram Harel offers an intimate portrait of an often misunderstood genius. This colorful retrospective conveys Hundertwasser s passion, energy, versatility, and commitment to his personal ideology. Формат: 17 см x 24,5 см.
