A few weeks before his sudden death on February 19, 2000,
Friedensreich Hundertwasser patronized the WaterFoundation. The
WaterFoundation was a special concern for the 1928 Viennese born distinguished
artist, who committed himself throughout his life to ecology
and environmental protection. In memory and honour of Friedensreich
Hundertwasser, we established the “Hundertwasser
Prize”.
It awards individuals, initiatives and also companies, who
have made an important contribution to the sustainable use of existing water resources or the sustainable
supply of water for people in disadvantaged regions. The prize
is 5,000 Euro. |
