© 2022 Artnet Worldwide Corporation.There’s a reason the chart of Mondrian’s auction sales looks like the back of a Stegosaurus: It’s because the artist’s market is characterized by a lack of supply. Many examples from his most coveted and characteristic Neoplastic period, which he began in the 1920s, are safely tucked away in museums. Since 1999, no more than 15 works by Mondrian have ever hit the auction block in a single year.
The current Beyeler show focuses on the first part of the artist’s career and aims to collapse some of the strict distinctions between his different bodies of work. The curators argue that Mondrian’s relationship to figuration and abstraction was more fluid than it might seem at first glance, with water reflections, plants, and other natural elements providing a through-line.
