Conceptual artist Gottfried Helnwein grew up in Vienna after World War II and was deeply influence by the Holocaust, Donald Duck, Elvis, and the Rolling Stones. His art constantly questions society by looking at its impact on the most innocent — the children. ... +

Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese - The Wedding at Gottfried Helnwein's Irish castle
Dita Von Teese: "Bespoke - whether it's jewellery design or putting together a party - is like, 'Wow.' I love the way the Regency and Victorian era really knew how to party. There was so much attention to detail. People have become lazy about entertaining. It’s all done to a formula.” Her dream theme is a Marie Antoinette banquet. "I love centrepieces dripping with flowers, berries and fruit. In those days, people would eat the table arrangements, and 1 love that irreverence. Marilyn and Dita were such fun to work with - they let me frame their cheesy childhood photos and put them on the walls of the castle in Tipperary. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Untitled (Modern Sleep)

The 21C Museum, Louisville, Kentucky
“Look Now” was a spectacular show comprised of photography, installations, painting and video art. The images were often disturbing as the examples of Gottfried Helnwein’s haunting painting of a child in military dress and Tony Oursler’s disembodied, frog-like talking heads, which amused, admonished and interrogated their audience went fully to show. The exhibit attempted to “confront us with the realities that lie behind and between our fantasies of who we are and of the world in which we live,” and this was certainly chillingly and mesmerizingly achieved. ... +

Provokateure in der Kunst gibt es schon eine Weile. Besonders in Österreich tritt diese Spezies seit den 60er Jahren hervor. Man denke nur an Hermann Nitsch, Arnulf Rainer oder Günter Brus. Gottfried Helnwein (geb. 1948), etwas jünger, hat sich ebenfalls als Enfant terrible etabliert. Gesicht und Hände mit Rasierklingen bearbeitend, von Wien nach Venedig pilgernd, ohne zu essen und zu schlafen, oder sich selbst porträtierend als "Schreiender - Geblendeter." Jetzt kann man in der Galerie Brockstedt überprüfen, wie sich der Künstler zwischenzeitlich entwickelt hat. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein Exhibition in Cork
WITH his bandanna and long dark hair, wearing something that looks like a flak jacket, swarthy Gottfried Helnwein could be a guerrilla or a pirate-revolutionary.
But the rock 'n' roll lifestyle and 17th-Century castle in Co Tipperary adorned with huge canvases tell a different story. He's an artist of serious international reputation, veteran of many controversies, who counts Sean Penn, Marilyn Manson, Norman Mailer and, once, Marlene Dietrich among his friends. ... +

Gottfried Helnwein : Modern Sleep 9
Irish Independent
Helnwein's "Modern Sleep" exhibition at Fenton Gallery in Cork
With her reddened lips slightly ajar and her eyes gently shut, this little girl could either be in serene repose or even, with her ghostly pallor, dead. Considering the artist who has created this hauntingly compelling image, it's possibly the latter. Gottfried Helnwein, the man in question, has always danced along that fine line of controversy. ... +

Gottfried Helnweins Wirken: eine kleine Werkschau in der Galerie Brockstedt
"Wie hält ein freundlicher Mensch wie Helnwein es aus, seine exzellente Malerei zum Spiegel der Schrecken des Jahrhunderts zu machen? Oder hält er es einfach nicht aus, das nicht zu tun?", so schrieb Heiner Müller einmal. Gottfried Helnwein, geboren 1948 in Wien, wurde bekannt mit grausam hyperrealistischen Bildern verwundeter, wie kriegstraumatisierter Kinder. ... +
