Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I met Jean Seberg in St. Tropez around 1957. After becoming a big star she bought this painting at an exhibition at Karl Flinker`s. Since her death I have heard nothing further about the painting`s whereabout. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 429)
