Background story for Spiral Rapture II

This work from 2013 is 50 x 70 cm - a early similar version from 1993, much smaller at 16 x 26 cm, had been sold to a collector in Austria. This was originally inspired by a postage stamp from 1989 depicting the motive of the color etching 'Lebensbaum' by Ernst Steiner, one of the members of the Vienna School and the first assistant to Ernst Fuchs.
​Since returning to Austria in 2011, Ernst Steiner has become a personal friend. I purchased the color etching from him and it is now a cherished part of my collection.  The postage stamp has been in my collection since it first was issued.
