Friedrich Stowasser, born in Vienna in 1928, called himself Friedensreich Hundertwasser Regentag Dunkelbunt. True to the variety of his names, his practice spanned innumerable forms -- from painting and designing buildings to creating stamps and coins -- and his titles were many: environmental activist, philosopher, individualist, architect, ecologist, and visual artist. He was, in his own words, one who awakens identities. Whether he was planting trees in urban settings or proclaiming the right to a window, Hundertwasser's visions of a harmonious future between humans and nature continue to resonate with increasing urgency. Once out of print, this re-edition of a Taschen classic works in close collaboration with the Hundertwasser Foundation to present the Viennese master's oeuvre in all its different facets. Because his work is, by nature, virtually inseparable from his biography, private life, and political actions, a vivid portrait of Hundertwasser takes shape through his own lens.
