The first ever exhibition in Ireland of work by Piet Mondrian opens at the National Gallery of Ireland today. The landmark show features loans from the Kunstsmuseum Den Haag. It ranges from Mondrian’s little known early landscapes to his world renowned abstract works with their black and white grids and primary colours. There are 40 paintings by Mondrian as well as a selection of works by De Stijl artists Theo van Doesburg, Bart van der Leck, and Gerrit Rietveld. The exhibition continues until February 14. The National Gallery re-opens today after 73 days of closure.
