Fleeing the Nazis, the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) sailed from London to New York in 1940, where he lived until his death in 1944. Mondrian: The Transatlantic Paintings focuses on a series of seventeen works created in Europe and finished in America during the artist’s final years. The exhibition is the culmination of extensive technical research on these paintings and the revisions that Mondrian made to them, and provides valuable insight into his working process. The project also encompasses multimedia kiosks in the exhibition. The kiosks allow visitors to take a virtual "tour" of the paintings, layer by layer, and also integrate ancillary materials, including archival photos of the artist and his studios, as well as additional critical interpretations of the work. A similar "tour" is also available through a web site. A catalogue by co-curators Harry Cooper and Ron Spronk, published by Yale University Press, is available.
