Hello Mette
I just checked and Google Translate does a decent job:
http://translate.google.com/translat...l =en&ie=UTF8

It's too much to translate by hand ;-)

I was amused by the phrase 'the 2000 unfortunately deceased artist'



" In 1950 he was based in France, where he died in Paris changed his surname
from Stowasser in Hundertwasser" is not bad either.

Sometimes it is not just the translation, like in: "His name when he was
born Friedrich Stowasser, his mother was half-Jewish and his father a
technician..."

A Happy and Joyful Year 2008!
