Friedensreich Hundertwasser*
(Vienna 1928-2000 Pacific Ocean, on board Queen Elizabeth II) "Kleiner Palast der Krankheit" („Small palace of illness“), Japanese woodcut in colour from the portfolio: Nana Hyaku Mizu, signed, dated Hundertwasser Regentag 1970, no. 66 of 200 numbered prints, block size 34,5 x 24 cm, sheet size 36,5 x 26 cm, mounted, framed, Koschatzky/Fürst HWG 38, (EH)
This Japanese colour woodcut was made after the water colour "Kleiner Palast der Krankheit" of 1961. Translating this very freely painted image, which consists more of colour surfaces than of lines, into the woodcut required an extremely complicated approach. Nakamura (jr.), who printed the "Kleiner Palast der Krankheit", produced about 20 plates. The elaborate colouring-in resulted in an extraordinary sheet. (Walter Koschatzky, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Zürich and Schwäbisch Hall 1986, page 96)
