Painting by Mondrian has been hanging upside down in German museum for decades
- Dutch artist Piet Mondrian made the painting in 1941 and was displayed in 1945
- Has been at German museum since 1980, but hung upside-down all this time
- Curator Susanne Meyer-Büser said that thickening of the grid should be at top
One of the paintings by the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian has decades hung upside down in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen museum in Düsseldorf. The German museum revealed this at a press conference at the opening of an exhibition in honor of Mondrian’s 150th birthday. The museum added the painting to its collection in 1980.
Curator Susanne Meyer-Büser thinks there are several reasons to believe that the painting hangs incorrectly.
Susanne, pictured, said that the other curators realised as soon as she showed them and she added that she is ‘100% certain’ the picture is topsy turvy
The painting consists of several horizontal and vertical colored strips. In a photo taken in his studio shortly after Mondrian’s death in 1944, the work of art can be seen on an easel. The strips that are closer together are at the top of the painting.
That is also the case with an almost identical painting that hangs in the Center Pompidou in Paris.
In the German museum, the painting has been rotated 180 degrees, so that the stripes that are closer together are at the bottom. The museum has no plans to turn the artwork over now that the flaw has been discovered.
Who was Piet Mondrian?
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and art theoretician who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
He is known for being one of the pioneers of 20th-century, as he changed his artistic direction from figurative painting to an increasingly abstract style, until he reached a point where his artistic vocabulary was reduced to simple geometric elements.
Mondrian’s art was highly utopian and was concerned with a search for universal values and aesthetics.
