About the Item

"Irinaland Over the Balkans" is a screenprint on paper created by celebrated Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928 - 2000). It is a sui genesis representation of a female portrait merged into the urban landscape. The original artwork was created in 1969 and the silkscreen was published in 1971 as sheet #7 in the "Look at it on a rainy day" portfolio. The silkscreen is printed in 31 colors, including 2 phosphorescent, with metal embossings in 5 colors on cardboard Schoeller Stern. It is signed, dated, titled in print, and with serial number 691A, stamp-numbered 01562/3000, also with the embossed stamp Hundertwasser Regentag and three Japanese embossed stamps, with wide margins, Edicion Luva and Ars Viva, Zurich, publishers. Printed by: Dietz Offizin, Lengmoos, Bayern / Bavaria, 1971, in cooperation with Günter Dietz Source: Walter Koschatzky, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Das vollständige druckgraphische Werk 1951-1986, Orell Füssli, 1986 One can say without any exaggeration, that this artwork belongs to the most expressive and impressive ones within Hundertwasser's graphic oeuvre. Günter Dietz achieved something very special to match the original artwork, maybe even surpass it. He increased the color excerpts, which have to be printed together in a very precise way, to a number of 29 sieves. He printed different metalstamps and two phosphorous colours flashing up inside mouth and eyes in darkness. The model had been painted with eggtempera and oilcolours on a base of crayoned foil of aluminum, and the silkcut, for which the artist had painted nine new transparent foils for the sieves, enabled to increase his artistic intention. The painting was created in November 1969 in Rome, where Hundertwasser was close to the Bulgarian actress Irina Maleewa at the time and to whom he dedicated this vision of a memory, a timeless picture of yearning and love. Approximate Sheet Size: 19 3/8" x 27 3/8" Image Size: 16' x 23" Sold framed and matted, under glass.
