Hundertwasser

Auction Prices
G U I D E

A selection of work sold at auction the master's career. As an unofficial site, I'm trying to make this as useful as possible for a Hundertwasser resource by including as many prints. For an artist with a career as long as his it's quite hard so would really appreciate any help. I want to do all the releases in chronological order.

The pages don't make any money - indeed I have to subsidise them through sales of memorabilia etc.. So I have to find the time around getting money in to do these pages.

I do think it's important to have a catalogue of all his releases. So if you can help with any details on releases then I will put them here. Any info. on the release, including date and country published, would be very useful. You can e-mail me here ihuppert5@aol.com

Thanks.

Just a few added so far. More to follow when I find the time to do it in-between the times I'm living in the real, prosaic world...
