Wieland Schmied – Hundertwasser: 1928-2000; Personality, Life, Work

„A world full of color,” says Friedensreich Hundertwasser, „is synonymous with paradise.” With his demonstrations and actions, his manifestos for nature, for more human-oriented architecture and for the improvement of the quality of life and living conditions, Friedensreich Hundertwasser is one of the most fascinating artists of the 20th century. He became a symbolic figure, not only as a painter but also as an architect, ecologist and philosopher, in particular for all those who are searching for a life tuned to the natural and the human.

This anniversary edition consists of the first volume of TASCHEN’s limited edition Friedensreich Hundertwasser, 1928–2000, and offers a complete presentation of Hundertwasser’s work, personality and life, with detailed texts by Hundertwasser’s longtime friend Wieland Schmied.
