No one has yet seen it and yet I can not edit or revise my start, spelling mistakes and all. Looking back I would like to have been more direct and clear in the first paragraph. To say that destiny has given us a job, in gifting as this amazing and beautiful painting to restore to its former glory and return it to the public for the appreciation it deserves. My family has done the job to the best of our ability patiently but need help to finish the job. The purpose of this blog is to get the story out and find help to complete this task. We would appreciate help in all and any form, words of encouragement, advice, ideas or money in small and large amounts. Interns and professionals in public relations ,media-communications and fundraising who could stat working with us for defered payment.
There are 100 million Germanic speakers in the world, I have spoken to 109 in the new York city subways with one question. Do you know who is Hundertwasser? All excepting four replied, naturally. I therefor believe that I should appeal to this Germanic family that may not universally love and understand the works of his life time but among this number he must be loved and understood by at least a few million. Will a few of these hear our cry for help and come to aid our cause. I believe so and am seeking to be heard by them and to reach them and pull on their heart and their purse strings. We intend to open a pay pal account and seek donations to the restoration of this painting and the making of a documentary film about it and the legacy of the artist that is so important at this time in the life of the world. He and his cause, the restoration of this natural world and the home of many life forms was the preoccupation of his works. This legacy is deserving of a more universal celebration. Here in the USA he is for 98% of the people Hundert-Who? We can change this with our documentary film and the restoration of this painting.
We have made out a budget for both projects and must fund raise to meet these cost or nothing will happen and the opportunity lost. My family , my mother, sisters and brothers are all willing to see this project to completion over a two year period. The restoration will take 6 months and the film six months to a year. Both are important and will cost about the same $100,000 although if we had the money you could always spend more on a film.
We are seeking loans and offering 7% APR , with legal promissory notes through our lawyers office. The painting its self is the guarantor of payment. We were told it would be worth millions fully restored and that a well done film could have a profound impact on its perceived value. We intent to stick it out and take this project to its natural conclusion. We intend to give away a large portion of its sale proceeds to charities that show the world how easy it could be to restore the balance of life and paradise on earth that could be shared by all its citizens ,plant and animal.
This is our intent and we appreciate the creative and financial participation of all though who are friends of Hundertwasser and his growing legacy. Small gifts will add up to real and meaningful sums that will allow us to move forward without delay. We will establish meaningful and beautiful premiums to show our gratitude. We will detail these soon, a book ,posters, film footage on DVDs. We are also seeking to establish fiscal sponsorship with compatible non-profit organizations to help us seek grants from foundations and corporations to further our cause.
Please forward this information and this blog site to anyone you think might be interested in hearing about, and helping our cause. Thank you very much. I will keep you posted.
Best wishes from New York, Chris Muth
