Any chance of a book on Gottfried Helnwein? Incredible artist. Quite breath-taking. His website is a treasure trove of images and information. Maybe add it to your 'Related Links' section?

Verder in de biblo een boek gekeken van de oostenrijkse kunstenaar Helnwein. Heel inspirerend. Mooie fotos zijn (in mijn optiek) toch meer een foto van durf. Ideeën genoeg, maar je moet ze durven uitvoeren.

-- and the exhibit's defacement by vandals shortly after it was unveiled.
Directed by Henning Lohner and featuring on-camera appearances by Helnwein collectors Sean Penn and Jason Lee, the documentary short is largely the product of the passion and persistence of Malibu producer Gisela Guttman. When she struggled to find a venue in Los Angeles willing to show Helnwein's large-scale installation, she decided to make a documentary instead.
The art installation, which revolves around a series of pictures of small children, was vandalized after its initial showing in Germany.
"The one thing I wanted to do is just be sure that people can see the entire installation, I just really wanted to bring it to Los Angeles, no matter how," Guttman said. "The power of those images really comes across on-screen, and that's what I wanted people to see and to think about." ...

Winging in from far-off and far-out corners of the world: German artist Gottfried Helnwein (here for the opening of "Modern Sleep'' at Modernism Gallery); actress Winona Ryder, who'd just landed at SFO from La-La land; and from the Gold Coast, Ann Getty and Jo Schuman Silver, popping by after a trunk show Ann hosted for Alyssa Boothby's Cracquer Jacque jewelry. ...

"Well, probably intentionally, except for moments of non-sober discussion, I've sort of made it a conscious effort to not analyze anything I love too much.
And I love this art, and for me part of the reason I think is a professional reason - for me as somebody who aspires to creativity myself. When you find someone in the arts, whether it's in your medium or in another medium, that raises the bar for you, that reinvigorates your own pursuit of affecting people and out of a sharing what you count on as some kind of a common chord in us. Whether it's through imagry, words, sounds.
I think that as an artist my strongest reaction to Helnwein's work is that it challenges me to be better at what I do. There are very few people that achieve utter excellence in what they do.
And I think that Gottfried Helnwein is certainly one of those people."

"NINTH NOVEMBER NIGHT"
2003, USA, Director/Producer: Henning Lohner; Producer: Gisela Guttman ...

"La función del artista es evocar la experiencia del reconocimiento sorpresivo: mostrarle al espectador lo que él sabe pero no sabe que sabe. Y Helnwein es un maestro del reconocimiento sorpresivo".
William Burroughs
Así describe el mismo Burroughs al austríaco Gottfried Helnwein, maestro del retrato en todas sus formas, principalmente en fotografía y video, aunque también en dibujo y pintura. Su obra se exhibe generalmente en gigantescas instalaciones, y también se extiende al cine y performances teatrales. Considerado por muchos como ‘repulsivo’, lo cierto es que incluso ha llegado a captar las figuras de personalidades como Bukowski, Burroughs, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed y Keith Richards, entre otros. ...

How easy it is to pass by the things we do not understand and hand out a label that might comfort our ignorance. I could have v-lined for the exit, ignored my curiosity and not given the exhibit another thought. But how could have that helped me? How could I take and grow from that experience? Proverbs says to seek after understanding like silver, to turn my heart to understanding. Because I decided to seek and understand Helnwein’s art, I was able to see the empathy God has blessed him with – the explicit visions he is able to create to awaken our naive hearts to the sound of our children’s pain. ...
