Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I had a kind of conciliatory feeling towards Germany. Hence the old German script and the catalogue title of Änne Abel's gallery: "Hundertwasser Is a Gift for Germany". The name Hundertwasser was incorrectly translated by me from the name Stowasser, which really means dammed-up or standing water. But the main thing is that the earth, humus, always had greater significance as a part of the life cycle. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 271)
