"Art warning the world" is an artwork created with the participation of 201 Artists, living in 200 different countries.
This work gathers 202 artists, 200 countries, 202 national flags,202 videos, 202 photos and a warning translated into 135 national languages. This is the first time in history that an artwork will unite the entire world.
To create this work Klaus Guingand looked for an artist in every country of the world. Every artist lives in his country. Each Artist has painted on their National flag this Klaus Guingand warning (translated into each national language): 'When the word freedom disappears from our dictionaries, it will be too late to react". Each Artist created their flag, along with a video and a photograph of themselves with their work.

Klaus Guingand "Freedom is the fundamental value of humanity". Convinced that the word freedom (and all that it represents and involves) would disappear from our dictionaries, he decided to create a work of Art to warn mankind.
This is the story of an Artist driven by the desire to defend freedom, searching all over the world for Artists interested in participating in this universal artwork. Neither their nationality, language, cultural differences or religious views have prevented the creation of this work. Painters, Street Artists, Sculptors, Photographers, Designers and Tattoo Artists, these men and women (aged 19-65 years) are made up of Jews, Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Protestants, Pagans, Agnostics, followers of other religions or atheists but all are united through this unique project aimed at the defense of freedom.
