The picture was created in 1941 and first put on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1945

An artwork has been hanging upside down - for more than 75 years.

New York City I is one of Dutch abstract artist Piet Mondrian's most important works but experts now believe it has been the wrong way up for decades.. Since 1980 it's been hung in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen art collection in Dusseldorf, Germany. At an event for the artist's anniversary exhibition, curator Susanne Meyer-Buser talked about the history of the artwork - which uses red, yellow, blue and black adhesive strips - then stunned the audience by revealing its secret.

She said she'd come across a photo from Mondrian's studio, taken a few days after his death in 1944, and the picture could be seen on the easel in a different orientation: the denser stripes on the upper edge.
