The Mondriaanhuis has nine early works by Piet Mondrian in its collection. In addition, the museum has two larger art collections on long-term loan.
Who was Piet Mondrian? A stern man, straightforward like his work? A hermit, alone in his studio? Or rather an avid dancer, always on the road? A womaniser, easily infatuated with young women? Various versions of the painter’s personality are circulating. He lived a life of contrasts. In the new Mondriaanhuis, many sides of the artist are shown.
In 2013, the municipality of Amersfoort and the Mondriaan House commissioned three artists to design a monument to Mondrian, commemorating the childhood of the painter, who was born in Amersfoort. Frank Halmans, Paul de Reus and Andrei Roiter each gave a very personal interpretation. The 'abacus' by Frank Halmans was chosen by the public as the best design and was realised in 2015 at the front of the museum.
