Hundertwasser's comment on the work
Raymond Cordier, my dealer, friend and galerist in Paris, sold two of my pictures to Georges Pompidou before he became Prime Minister. One of them was resold, and the proceeds werde enough for Cordier to buy the Pompidous a country estate in the Department of Lot, to which I was invited. I can`t say though whether the story is true, or something I was told to please me. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, pp. 420-421)
