Hundertwass Erfriedereich by Werner Hofmann is a lavishly illustrated hardcover that invites art lovers into the vibrant world of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. First published in 1983, this English-language picture book doubles as a serious art-history reference, tracing the Austrian painter-architect’s evolution from early graphic experiments to his later architectural utopias.
Every spread showcases Hofmann’s curatorial eye, pairing full-colour reproductions with concise commentary on Hundertwasser’s colour theory, environmental ethos, and signature spirals. Collectors appreciate the oversized format that lets the artist’s jewel-bright palettes and gold-leaf details glow, while students of art history gain quick insight into post-war European modernism.
This 1983 edition arrives in very good shape: the pictorial boards show only light scuffing and a small spine dent, and the interior pages remain crisp, unmarked, and tightly bound. No inscriptions, ex-libris stamps, or dog-eared corners interrupt the reading experience, making it ready for immediate shelf pride or gift-giving.
Whether you’re hunting antiquarian art books or expanding a modern art collection, Hofmann’s Hundertwasser monograph offers both visual feast and scholarly substance in one durable hardcover package.
