O.K. here it is:

I asked my 12 year old son if he could look up Hundertwasser for me in his
encyclopedia. He immediately piped up, "you mean Friedensreich
Hundertwasser?" Boy, he sure showed up his papa on that one ...

He wasn't in the encyc. and I couldn't leave it any more so I found the
following site.

http://www.iicm.edu/hundertwasser.protrait

Check it out. His given name was Friedrich Stowasser, born 15.Dec.1928 and he
was also an artist which I didn't know (my son knew it, geez.....) I only
remember seeing a building of his on TV where there were no straight lines
and the roof was a ramp which ran down to the ground. Don't remember where.
Perhaps it's *the* Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna?
