His huge retrospective @ Albertina opens today in Vienna. Very excited about this exhibition. www.albertina.at/jart/prj3/albertina/main.jart?rel=en&content-id=1202307119323&ausstellungen_id=1313041137171I was at the public interview he gave yesterday, never seen such a huge crowd at the Albertina. He talked about his childhood in gloomy post-war Vienna, the huge influence comics (especially Donald Duck cartoons) had upon his life and his art, his view of modern society (and lots more). The interview will be available online, but only in German. My favourite quotes were: "My home is Austria, Ireland and Ducksburg." "My paintings are never finished. I would love to be surrounded by all my paintings all the time and try to finish them." (The curator even confirmed that Helnwein had his paints with him to add something here and there to his pieces.)
