I am told by many that we need to set up a  facebook account instead of the blog, which has not gotten much traffic. It is more a historical documentation of a slow, persistent and underfunded effort to make a dream come true. Many people still have difficulty believing the basic story. We have a new website at http://www.voicethread.com/share/2804456# please visit and although not complete I think you will be happily surprised.
We are continuing to seek partners, private and public to fund the project. Andrea Furst the director of his archive has requested the crated 13 pieces of the painting be sent to Austria for restoration and an exhibition in Oct.
I believe that we will eventually succeed in finding the right partners for this project, we are persistent and hopeful.We have in fact "Prof of Faith" a museum grad lexan mounted portrait of what appears to be a group of monks at prayer. It is in fact one many in many different poses. I saved it from destruction also , it was in the streets of New York hidden in protective wrapping and in mint condition.The artist Drew Tal , www.drewtal.com, told me that it was an artists proof of a unique piece.It is his signature piece and on his business card. Please visit his sight and you will find it under the heading of "Facing East" I was hoping to find a way to hock my newly found "proof of Faith" to raise money to restore Hundertwassers  Paradise. I do not want to sell out my "Faith " just borrow against it. I am going to approach the Richard Gere foundation. I am certain he would like the piece and our project. The photograph has a value of $15,000 dollars.

Behind the scenes there has been ongoing an interesting struggle with real drama that I have not shared here.It will be the subject of a reality styled documentary. This will be the whole funny story. The NY art/adventure story that has been hidden will be shared. This will be separate from the serious  documentary that I have hired Trever Lawrence to direct. His recent work Florent just played on PBS and we hope our film gets the same good exposure.
One of five film makers I interviewed said he saw the whole project between the sale of the restored mural in Hundertwassers Vienna museum, the books and the films that can be generated as being worth $40 million dollars.
This project has grown organically and slowly into something much bigger than I could imagine five years ago when I encountered the mural two weeks before it was slated to be destroyed. It was blocking a $10m new wing on an old mansion on the gold Coast of Long Island outside of New York city.
