Signature required location::: Note 1: The triumphant final publication of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, a colossal two-volume edition records the life’s work of prolific painter, printmaker, designer, writer, ecologist, and innovator Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Designed and curated by the artist himself, it adheres to his meticulous cataloguing system and features nearly 1,800 pages and 1900 images to document his entire oeuvre the way he wanted it, right down to the black-edged pages and colored velvet cover. Limited Art Edition of 10,000 copies, without the etchings provided with the Hundertwasser estate stamp. Hardback, two volumes, 1,791 pages. Color etching, printed on deckle-edged paper (300 g/qm), 24 x 20 cm, with Hundertwasser estate stamp. Lavishly printed in ten colors, the book totals nearly 1,800 pages with almost 1900 images alongside personal notes and commentaries. The result is a colossal testament to Hundertwasser’s work, the way he wanted it. This edition, the last book designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, includes: Two volumes in a slipcase designed by Hundertwasser, lavishly printed in ten colors on rounded, black-edged pages; Hundertwasser’s original layout design; documenting Hundertwasser’s life and oeuvre from 1928 to 2000, with many personal notes and comments by the artist. Note 2 The Catalogue Raisonne not a posthumous tribute, but a living legacy Friedensreich Hundertwasser: born Friedrich Stowasser, he lived and died as Friedensreich (meaning ""realm of peace"") Hundertwasser - a name he chose for himself. Architect, ecologist, painter, designer, writer, innovator ... his list of talents goes on and on. Hundertwasser reinvented the art of living as an artist 24 hours a day. The lifework of this prolific creator is brought together for the first time in this limited edition of 10,000 copies. Hundertwasser began to number and catalogue his work in 1954 and had completed the task for his entire work, including short histories to accompany each work, before his untimely death in February 2000. He worked closely with TASCHEN on this project, designing the layout and the book itself: with rounded edges and a cover with 3D feeling-- colored velvet glued on black linen, the Catalogue Raisonne is an exquisite work of art. Volume I contains a text by Wieland Schmied, a celebrated art historian and a longtime personal friend of Hundertwasser, with selected paintings, architectural works, projects, and manifestos. Volume II comprises Hundertwasser's entire painted oeuvre, adhering to his precise numbering and information system, his architecture as well as everything else he ever produced, from postage stamps to license plates, architecture, and applied art. This is a testament to Hundertwasser's work the way he wanted it. Because the book's detailed concept, design, and text were completed by the artist before his death, this book now speaks for him, breathing life into his work. **Limited edition for collectors: Only 10,000 copies worldwide** Specifications: This edition, the last book created by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, includes: Two volumes in a slip case designed by Hundertwasser, lavishly printed in ten colors on rounded, black-edged pages Hundertwasser's original layout design 1,791 pages and about 1,900 illustrations, documenting Hundertwasser's life and artistic work from 1928 to 2000, with many personal notes and comments by the artist Note 3 Slip case closes with velcro straps; interesting "closure" but not strong or secure.
