you cannot find this painting in any museum of the world, because I painted that for my own pleasure, oil on canvas - trying to feature the similarity of Piet Mondrian's last painting "Broadway Boogie Woogie" to a modern Manhattan city map - read my amazon review on MONDRIAN www.amazon.com/review/RICJD0Z5F8D5G/ (english) + www.amazon.de/review/RLQZELG2YZ75A/ (deutsch)

    A more frivolous way of living and expressing, don't compare it to Mondriaan, it is yours and so it should be. . . !
    Nice though not unknown background story which makes one wonder time and again. . !

    THIS IS A GREAT PAINTING FRIZZ -- WONDERFUL EYE (ALTHOUGH THOSE EUROPEAN "1"s will get you SEVEN bagels at Zabars). Mondrian is honored. I have never vocalized the truth to myself that the NY subway map is art!!

    Victory Boogie Woogie was recently bought for 80 million euros by the Dutch National Bank - when our guilder stopped to exist - as a gift to the people of the Netherlands.

    The painting is on show in my hometown - The Hague - which has by far the largest collection of Mondrians in the world. They have many examples of everything between the first landscape scetches and the last abstraction of New York. I know most of his work by heart.

    Boogie Woogie is the real spirit of this work. Victory was added to the title by the first owner to commemorate the end of the war, shortly after Mondrian death. The appetite for constant working you talk about manifests itself as a creative joy. In spite of his poverty he was a rich man in his heart. No doubt he knew he had a unique and priceless gift. But I agree, a good sandwich and a heater are essential in winter times...

    @-hndrk- thanks! with your help I now can make a version of my MONDRIAN-statement:

    "Piet Mondrian liked to dance surrounded by Boogie Woogie Music - and so his last work, before he died, was titled BROADWAY BOOGIE WOOGIE - and I`ve painted a version from that famous painting (just sold for 80 million from MOMA in Manhattan back to the Netherlands) - featuring the diagonal broadway (not on the original...)"

    So cool. This kind of thing appeals to me and makes me crazy at the same time.
