Diorama III, 1962
The Diorama’s have been a long-term loan to the museum given by Constant himself. The foundation for one is super excited that the two objects are now really part of the collection they belong to. The sale was financially backed up by both the Mondriaan Foundation and the Rembrandt Foundation.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GEMEENTEMUSEUM!
