Mondrian & de Stijl

From September 2011, Mondrian & De Stijl will have a permanent home base in the Netherlands, at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag (The Hague). Besides Rembrandt and Van Gogh, the work of De Stijl is the only art form to be included in the Canon of Dutch History.

Yet up to now there was no one place in the Netherlands where you could go to get an overview of this most important Dutch contribution to modern art. Gemeentemuseum Den Haag is now dedicating an entire 750m2 wing to Mondrian & De Stijl. 

With almost 300 works, the Gemeentemuseum's Mondrian collection is unique in the world. It covers every phase in the impressive career of this master of modern art. The enormous variety of work enables the Gemeentemuseum to show to the public the full scope of Mondrian's artistic development, from realistic to abstract.

The exhibition also contains his last  -unfinished- masterpiece, the Victory Boogie Woogie (1942-1944), a monument to New York, the city that exudes rhythm and unbridled vitality.  

Place: Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. Stadhouderslaan 41 2517 HV Den Haag Postbus 72. 2501 CB. The Hague. The Netherlands.
Opening hours: from Tuesday until Sunday from 11am to 5pm.
