I am very happy because I got to see Der Rosenkavalier last Saturday night after having had a look at some of the work that went into the costumes and sets at Gottfried's studio in April.

I'm so excited to see an artist who is able to express the emotions which some people of my generation have.... Your art and your ironic way of showing what a lot of people are afraid of or embarased of, is amazing.

i have had opportunity to view many of your showings in san francisco.i enjoy the many facets of your art:drawings, watercolors, photography and that you have collaberated in group exhibits.you capture the innocence of children without perversion or exploitation which is why i have continued to follow your expression of them.in a world that aims to censor all forms of art, including literature and film, with a supposed goal "to protect children" from violence, obscenity and sex, i find the thought police to be the very thing that we all need protection from.when the first five minutes of network&local news is so jam-packed with censored violence hurled at us so quickly that a catatonic state of being inflicts the psyche;i suppose the goal of desensitizing is unattainable. however, i dare say that the majority of viewers are not phased by the evening news in such a disturbing way as this.no, those of that majority are instead offended by lyrics, authors, ARTISTS and non-WASP religions-who are given access to and by the media to express their "right" of free speech-we ought to be protected from the banter, lies and inacurate reports of what will eventually be recorded AS history.a supposed TRUTH.his story! as a child's beauty reflected through your artworks, (my)innocence, not ignorance, eloquently unveils such an ugly,disturbed,disgraceful society.humanity is sick, not artists such as yourself."creative evolution" is part of the machine.without it humans would be like insects.though i could argue that a schism of just such humans is taking form-i could go on, but lets move on shall we.if more people recognized children within their innocence i believe a shift of focus would likely occure.but i know this will not be done through the majority for they are conditioned to faithlessly fuel the machine-unaware of their obsolete and inefficient purpose;disposable while creating waste toxic hazardous crude oil sludge-"attention walmart shoppers, we'd like to remind you that your continued support is needed in order to provide slave/child labor materials priced affordable at your own slave labor wages.you want cheap prices you get cheaply produced items not made to last long but to dispose of, throw away and then come back to buy another cuz you can afford it,we make sure you can-slave wages afforded by slave labor.support your fellow slave and thank you for shopping at walmart."do you think walmart is a child-friendly employer and environment? i am part of the minority who will not shop at walmart-the shift in focus if you will.we cry for humanity.i am not wealthy, probably make less than a lot of malmart shoppers yet i am not needy,pay cash for furniture and electronics.purchase quality made items so they last.not cheap and disposable. i write "i am not a slave" on many of the $1 bills passing through my hands.children are not little monsters or preditors many fear. when focused close-up they are angelic,though their back drop maked them appear mischievious or demonized.censor that!

J'ai découvert cet artiste il y a une quinzaine d'année en farfouillant dans les livres d'art Tachen... Le flash...
Je n'avais jamais fait le rapprochement avec Marylin Manson... (C'est complètement stupide de ma part)...
Et j'avais jamais penser aussi à aller voir sur le net... C'est en parlant de photographie d'art sur msn que je me suis souvenu... "mais oui bien sur... Helnwein"....
Bizarement.... voir tout ca me fait du bien....

К сожалению,не знаю английского столь хорошо,чтобы писать на нём,но надеюсь,что Вам переведут. Я восхищаюсь Вашим творчеством,оно вдохновляет меня на жизнь.Каждый день на протяжении 5 лет начинается у меня со взгляда на картину "Неприятно" и я до сих пор я считаю это лучшим началом дня. Спасибо за то,что я такая какая я есть,всё это благодаря Вам. МНЕ НРАВИТСЯ ЭТО!!!

Am I the only one who thinks that this site is just sick and that the artist should be put into psychiatry? This is not art, it´s just extracts from a very sick brain.

TO MR. GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN
Sir, firstly I would like to thank you for not being politically correct; it is a pleasure to have an artist who follows his heart and doesn't censor himself.
Secondly I have some questions concerning your collaboration with Marilyn Manson. Some time ago I heard that the two of you would publish a book with your works, and now I wonder if this book has ever become a reality. Or was it just a rumour? In the beginning of your collaboration with mr. Manson it seemed to become a rather prolonged "marriage". Do you still work with him? (I think you could and should work much more together.)
I hope you will excuse my ignorance and answer my questions, because I have been hibernating mentally since 2003.
Yours sincerely,
Scorpio
P.S. Just one more (silly) question: When do you open an exhibition in Denmark? I think that Aros (the museum of art in Aarhus) needs to show something different than their 30-year-old dead horse in glass jam jars :)

I'm only a mere 17 year old girl, but some of my works relate to yours. I enjoyed your site.
Certain things tend to interest me, such as your site.
You are incredably bold, and different.
I do have to addmit that a few of your works did take me by surprise, rather desturbing even. I myself tend to go towards the different. You have given me ideas. You are an extreamly talented person, keep doing what your doing.
