Good Morning City.

Color screenprint with metal embossing on stiff wove paper, 1969. 835x555 mm; 32 7/8x21 7/8 inches (sheet), full margins. Edition of 10,000 but one of 200 of this "RR" color variation. Signed, annotated and numbered "7765" in ink, lower margin. Printed by Studio Quattro, Campalto-Venice. Published by Ars Viva, Zurich. A very good impression with strong, vibrant colors.

The initial composition of Hundertwasser's Good Morning City, with a total edition of 8,000, consisted of 40 color variations. In 1970 Hundertwasser reworked the print to include phosphorescent colors and embossed metal reliefs. This new edition of 2,000 consisted of an additional 40 color variants. This project took him two years to complete. Koschatzky 41b.
