Hundertwasser's comment on the work
This unassuming picture is for me a milestone, as it is the first "Hundertwasser spiral", influenced by Fulchignioni's film "Images de la Folie" (Pictures of Madness), which I had seen in Vienna at the University. (see also 169 Blood Flowing in a Circle) (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 245)
