Cultural highlight 2025 Friedensreich
The new Hundertwasser art forum opens its doors in 2025 and invites visitors to experience Hundertwasser’s work in all its diversity and visionary power.
Over the course of five years, this unique institution will dedicate itself to one of the most important artists of our time in an exclusive series of four exhibitions with different focal points. The exhibition “The Right to Dream”, which runs from 15th March 2025 to 11th January 2026, kicks off the series and offers fascinating insights into the multifaceted work of this extraordinary artist.
The special exhibition
The exhibition presents a diverse selection of early watercolors, paintings, Japanese woodblock prints and silkscreens, which develop a unique expressive power through his technical innovation.
Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s works show what drove him and what he stood for: a life in harmony with nature and the freedom of individual creativity.
The island of Lindau, surrounded by Lake Constance, provides the ideal setting to experience Hundertwasser’s close connection with nature in his art. A comprehensive accompanying programme to the exhibition with workshops, films, discussions and interactive installations allows visitors to delve even deeper into Hundertwasser’s work and his groundbreaking ideas.

The artist about himself
To be happy, a person does not need external wealth but an inner wealth of the soul.
A visionary: Friedensreich Hundertwasser
Hundertwasser was a romantic utopian, unconventional outsider and ecological visionary whose work continues to fascinate to this day.
With sustainable building projects and his art, he united nature, people and creativity into a harmonious whole. His architecture emphasises romanticism, individuality and environmental awareness, while his writings and actions called for the protection of nature and its return to everyday life.
His uncompromising lifestyle, characterised by frugality and independence, created space for artistic freedom. His commitment to the development of individual creativity makes him a symbolic figure of non-conformist, environmentally oriented initiatives, whose impact extends into today’s ecology movement.
