The classic painting of abstract art has been upside down for more than 70 years
According to the curator, you will never necessarily find out who has turned the board the wrong way.
– We know from the photographs that this work of art was first exhibited at MoMA (Museum of Modern Art in New York) in 1945, and it was already upside down then, says Meyer-Büser.
He became interested in the differences between the two different photographs and investigated the matter by turning the cardboard version of the picture upside down.
– I looked at the picture and it works really well when you turn it upside down. Suddenly it has more plasticity, more depth.
Suspicions were confirmed when the curator examined the adhesive tapes. From them, he concluded that the artist had made the work the other way around.
However, in the soon-to-be-opened Mondrian exhibition in Düsseldorf, the painting will not be turned over, as the velcro strips could come off and destroy the painting.
According to Meyer-Büser, we will probably never know how the work ended up the wrong way.

Elias Salonen, known from the series Aikuiset, will soon be seen in the role of contract killer Ilpo Larha – \”A very difficult and traumatized person\”
Actor Elias Salonen delved deeply into Ilpo Larha’s life while preparing for the role. Among other things, he read the same books that Larha read.
Salonen, who visited the Half Seven program, said that he spent a lot of time preparing for his role.
– Yes, it went quite deep in researching that character. After all, he was a twisted guy. I don’t think he was a psychopath, but a very difficult and traumatized person, Salonen describes.
Salonen also said that while preparing for the role, he read a lot about various criminal cases and even the same books that Larha read.
Since Larha was a taxi driver, Salonen also had to learn how to drive cars from the 90s. In addition, he learned pistol shooting.
– Ilpo was very good with guns, so I started going to pistol shooting at the beginning of the year.
Salonen graduated from Teatterikorkeakoulu last spring and has already been well employed during his studies. When Salose was younger, he had a role as a washerman:
– That role was a big jackpot. It was wonderful to be able to make a series that was so good and became so popular. It was really wonderful to do it and it was the kind of series that stands behind the world view and which in so many ways was an important work for me.

Accused of anti-Semitism, Kanye West’s market value collapsed, and now no one dares to touch the rapper
West was a money maker for Adidas, but with the uproar, the clothing giant cut the gaps and absorbed the losses. The artist who was fired from Instagram and Twitter is buying the social media service Parler, where conspiracy theories are rampant.
The rapper, now known as Ye, has been in the public eye for a long time, but the anti-Jewish comments made this fall have been too much for his partners. Many big brands have stopped working with the artist.
Kanye West’s worth has plummeted from $2 billion to $400 million.
The reputation has deteriorated over the years
Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, Kanye West became one of the world’s most popular rappers in the 2000s. He has sold more than 160 million records and won 24 Grammy awards.
