PAINTINGS MONDRIAAN DISCOVERED

I need to make some space on the walls in my humble toilet-room in the house...

The walls are covered with postcards of paintings by my favourite Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan.

Big news: Three unknown works by Dutch painter Piet Mondriaan were recently discovered at an appraisal in France. The oil paintings are not listed in the 1998 works catalogue.
The three paintings are ‘Hooimijt achter een rij bomen’ (’Hay stack behind a row of trees’, seen above), ‘Irissen tegen een rode achtergrond’ (’Irisses against a red background’) and ‘Boerenhoeve door bomen omringd’ (’Farm house surrounded by trees’). The discovery was made by Amsterdam art dealer Dolf van Omme, who obtained the paintings through the heritage of a collector.

The authenticity of the works was confirmed by specialists. They are not signed, but then Mondriaan did not sign his paintings very often. Van Omme is selling one of the paintings for EUR 100,000, while the other two will be given back to the owner.

Enjoy,
