Victory Boogie-Woogie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Victory Boogie-Woogie is the last, unfinished, work by the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian. Left incomplete in 1944, since 1998 it has been in the collection of the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague. It was purchased at a cost of 80 million guilders (app. 35 million euros) from the American collector S. Newhouse. It was bought by the Stichting Nationaal Kunstbezit (Foundation National Art) through a gift from the Dutch Central Bank, commemorating the introduction of the euro. This gift raised questions in the Tweede Kamer.
