 "I Will Win” is a series of self portraits of + 10 by 6 m. (= 30 by 22 feet.) which I launch each year along the course of the ING New York City Marathon at the Bronx side of the Willis Avenue Bridge in New York in order to give mediahelikopters the opportunity to film-broadcast my new painting for 6-7 seconds into the houses of 260 million viewers in 125 countries.
