Hundertwasser in New Zealand – Celebrating Art, Nature & Life

“New Zealand is for me a kind of promised land.” Austrian-born artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser arrived in New Zealand in 1973, seeking refuge from a world out of tune with nature. After travelling and exhibiting, he settled at Kaurinui in the Bay of Islands, where he restored the land and pursued his vision of uniting “nature and art, art and life,” feeling he was “never nearer to this unity than in New Zealand.”

Hundertwasser in New Zealand by Andreas J Hirsch is a richly illustrated and accessible account of the artist’s love for Aotearoa, his interactions with its people and landscapes, and the profound influence these had on his work. Hirsch explores Hundertwasser’s art, philosophy, and architecture created in New Zealand, highlighting public projects such as the Koru Flag and the Kawakawa Public Toilets. Filled with paintings, drawings, sketches, photographs, and Hundertwasser’s own writings, this book is a vibrant artistic statement that cements his place as a New Zealand icon.
