The rigid straight line is fundamentally alien to humanity life & the whole of creation". Hundertwasser applied this philosophy not only to the famous Viennese buildings for which he was renowned but all the media & art-forms he has experimented with during his wild career. Whether it be painting sculpture performance art or designing a kindergarten Hundertwassers works are multi-coloured organic & shot through with a sense of the magical or fantastic.

He has consistently rebelled against rationalist or determinist ideas promoted ecological awareness & mantained a passionate belief in the anarchy of the imagination. In this retrospective Pierre Restany covers all the bases of Hundertwassers eclectic development as an artist from the tenant revolt & nude lecture of the early 70s through the housing projects in Vienna right up to his designs for an alternative society." ...
