The power and bewildering nature of abstract art has recently been demonstrated by the late abstract artist Piet Mondrian whose 1942 piece 'New York City I' has been hung upside down for three quarters of a century!

The evidence for this includes a photograph of the artwork in Mondrian's studio in the correct position and a similar artwork from the series being hung the other way. The artwork itself boasts Mondrian's iconic primary colours and intersecting lines but conveyed through adhesive tape. Surprisingly, despite the discovery, the artwork will continue to be displayed incorrectly due to the already fragile nature of the piece. What's more, curator Susanne Meyer-Büser considers this revelation to be a part of the artwork's story which also indicates the powerful significance of wider abstract art.

Pioneered during the 20th century, 'Abstract Art' is defined as art that does not attempt to accurately portray visual reality. Instead: shapes, lines, colours, are "abstracted" from reality and conveyed in pure forms. For example, the horizon of an industrial cityscape may be portrayed through parallel lines, emotions through vibrant shapes, or colours and textures may be created for purely aesthetic purposes. It is this powerful method and the beautiful abstract creations that can cause ambiguities in the artwork's display since a sense of gravity and reality are all but eradicated. The result is a mind-boggling artwork that allows freedom of interpretation and display for any space.

Featured art: 'Modern Simplicity (Black) 1' an original mixed media artwork by the Bisaillon Brothers, £3,950.
