Hundertwasser's comment on the work
There are so many different yellows. Ships and kisses are similar the way keystone windows and hot-water bottles are, like rain and tears, like beard and meadow, like mushrooms and atomic explosions, like snails and spiral nebulae, water and window glass, eyes and windows, roads and rivers and veins. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 202)
