Mondrian painting hanging upside down for over seventy years

A painting by Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian has been hanging upside down for 77 years, says a curator at the German museum.

But as she prepared for the exhibition, curator Susanne Meyer-Buser discovered the painting had been presented to the public rather differently from how it was perhaps intended to be on show. The painting, consisting of several lines in blue, red and yellow intersecting at right angles, was then displayed shortly after in the wrong way at MoMA in New York, the curator said.The error could have been made because "the painting doesn't have a signature", according to Meyer-Buser.

Mondrian, born in 1872, was a noted exponent of the 1920s abstract art movement known as "De Stijl" and was one of the most influential figures in modern art in the 20th century.

I was looking for the painting as I could only see some tape-wrapped frame.

Mondrian turns in his grave. 🙄
