Hundertwasser's comment on the work
On the road from Normandy to Paris it is often foggy. The road goes through Chartres. The road from Venice to Paris goes over mountains and snow. The road from Vienna to Paris is straight and fast and terribly long. It goes through Germany. My companions are my hands and my feet. (from: Catalogue Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 1980, p. 260)
Wieland Schmied did not like the title at all. It was too blasphemous, he said. And at that I didn't mean I was driving to God, but to a girlfriend. Besides, I was driving in my Citroën DS 19. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 504)
