Gottfried Helnwein Retrospective Exhibition
Albertina Museum, Vienna
Exhibition opening: May 24th, 2013 - October 13th, 2013
“Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. Not all of Gottfried’s work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he’s approached life. And it doesn’t take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say “this guy has been around.” You can’t sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned. 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.” - Sean Penn

Queen Lili’uokalani (1838-1917)
I, Liliuokalani of Hawaii, by the will of God named heir apparent on the tenth day of April, A.D. 1877, and by the grace of God Queen of the Hawaiian Islands on the seventeenth day of January, A.D. 1893, do hereby protest against the ratification of a certain treaty, which, so I am informed, has been signed at Washington by Messrs. Hatch, Thurston, and Kinney, purporting to cede those Islands to the territory and dominion of the United States. I declare such a treaty to be an act of wrong toward the native and part-native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs, in violation of international rights both toward my people and toward friendly nations with whom they have made treaties, the perpetuation of the fraud whereby the constitutional government was overthrown, and, finally, an act of gross injustice to me.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/be6dee95c713fe19aad35572868a37da/tumblr_mn2cccLtaw1qgq6suo1_r1_500.jpg)
