Puzzle Description:

Piet Mondrian's "New York City I" has been hanging upside-down since it was first put on display in 1945

"Curator Susanne Meyer-Büser noticed the longstanding error when researching the museum's new show on the artist earlier this year, but warned it could disintegrate if it was hung the right side up now."

When I worked with interior designers they often chose abstract art so that if they had a space for a vertical picture and the one they chose was horizontal, or vice versa, they could just flip it sideways. Often the builders would come around and joke, "Uh, I think it's upside down" and we'd say, "No, just sideways." They probably thought we were joking.

Thank you for this. I needed to know. I'm telling all my friends. ;-)

Love it. I guessed Mondrian as I was working on it. I am not sure if I did it logically. It was fun though.
