About the Item

Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist and architect celebrated for his unique, colorful, and organic designs that challenged conventional architectural norms. His work, heavily influenced by artists like Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, also drew inspiration from nature, incorporating spirals and irregular forms. As an architect, Hundertwasser championed environmental sustainability, and this ethos informed his projects, such as the Hundertwasser House in Vienna. His painting style was characterised by intense colours, ornamental elements, and a rejection of straight lines. Hundertwasser’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale and São Paulo Biennial, and he has been recognised with awards including the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria. The details of the work are as follows: Friedensreich Hundertwasser (Austrian, 1928 – 2000) Good morning City – Bleeding Town Screenprint Signed, inscribed and dated ‘Friedensreich, 7.Juli 1970, Giudecca’ (lower right), and numbered ‘8388/10000’ (lower left), with further studio stamps 33.3/4 x 22.1/8 in. (85.5 x 56.2 cm.) (including frame) Word from Hunterdwasser regarding the 'Good morning City - Bleeding Town' series: I took up the bleeding-building motif 18 years later and made a print of 10,000 copies, in 80 variations differing markedly in colour and form. I further developed the differentiation of dwellings in the storeys of the skyscrapers. The walls are not straight, but individually formed. I can readily imagine that living far from the ground, which is lethal in the long run, can be mitigated by human creativity. But where there is none, man in high-rises, so far away from Mother Earth, cannot survive.(from: Hundertwasser Architecture, Cologne, 1997, p. 24)This is my first large print edition, which I numbered from beginning to end; but actually it isn't one, since it consists of many variations. It is based on 151 Bleeding Houses. I spent months in the print shop in Campalto, while the Regentag lay in berth not far away, in a canal of the lagoon near Ca' Noghera. It was like a simultaneous chess match with more than forty opponents. I did this even more radically later with the silkscreen print 860 Homo Humus come va. I don't think anyone can outdo me in this gigantic enterprise, which took up two years of my life. I used completely new techniques in print graphics: metallic-stamp printing, phosphorescent colours that glow in the dark, reflecting glass-bead appliqués, convex embossing and an incredible number of colour overprints which I painted separately on transparent foil, from where they were transferred to the screen. Then the proofs of the infinite number of colour combinations. I wanted to reduce the conveyor belt to absurdity. I got myself into a bind between the incredible demand which had materialised and my pride in creating something original, not mass-produced, and I wanted to give as much of my inner self as I could. I went to court and won because I wanted to keep the prices low (just like with the Art Club portfolio of 1951) - 100 marks per print, to make it accessible to many people. It was all for nought. I could not fix the price on the open market. It was a victory and a defeat all in one. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 812-813)
