1982
Post Administration of the Cape Verde Islands for the Republic of the Cape Verde Islands
770 (Original Design)

United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim asked Hundertwasser for a work to be auctioned in connection with an aid initiative for this small, poor republic, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. Hundertwasser offered to design a postage stamp for distribution by the postal administration of Cape Verde, thus achieving international visibility for the relatively little known nation, as well as an increase of revenue. The postal administration of Cape Verde was unable, however, to attain economic success with the 10-Escudo postage stamp, which was issued in 1982. Three years later the Austrian Foreign Ministry and the Austrian State Printing Office therefore took the necessary steps to increase development aid proceeds. The edition was printed over with a value of 30 Escudos, accompanied by philatelists' collectors' editions, such as a souvenir block of stamps.
