Hundertwasser – Vivid Colour & Organic Forms

Discover the imaginative world of Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928–2000) in Hundertwasser by Pierre Restany. Known for his vivid colors, organic forms, and fierce rejection of straight lines, Hundertwasser was a non-conformist artist, architect, and activist whose work continues to inspire.

Restany explores Hundertwasser’s iconic projects, including the famed Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, illustrating how the artist sought to transform human environments through creativity and ecological commitment. Hundertwasser opposed rational, sterile buildings, calling straight lines “godless and immoral,” and embraced spirals and Secessionist forms inspired by Klimt and Schiele. This richly illustrated book traces his unique style, visionary architecture, and societal ideals—from provocative public addresses in the late 1960s to international architecture projects and alternative blueprints for a more imaginative world.
