Hardback
Main Details
Description
Architect, artist, ecological visionary, Friedensreich Hundertwasser left a thrilling trail of imagination and activism in buildings, paintings, manifestos, and more. From naked addresses and tree planting campaigns to the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, Hundertwasser refused the straight line in every sense. His vision was as much for society at large as for singular buildings
Author Biography
Pierre Restany (1930-2003) was brought up in Morocco. He later studied in France, Italy and Ireland. In 1963 he worked on the art and architecture journal domus, and since 1985 he edited the magazine D'ARS. His meeting with Yves Klein in 1955 inspired his 1960 theory of "Nouveau Realisme" and he founded an art-group of the same name in Paris. He wrote and published extensively on the art of the twentieth century.
