Provenance
Purchased from the artist by A. E. Gallatin, New York, 1933 [1]; bequest to PMA, 1952. 1. See letter from Mondrian to Gallatin, dated June 1, 1933: "[...] Je viens de reçevoir votre chèque dont je vous remercie beaucoup. [...] Demain le cadre du tableau sera ici et je vous l'apporterai" (Gallatin Papers, New-York Historical Society, microfilm; see also letter of June 5, 1993, to Carola Giedion-Welcker, quoted in Joop Joosten, Piet Mondrian: Catalogue Raisonné, 1998, v. 2, p. 365).* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.
