Victory Boogie Woogie is the last, unfinished work of the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian. Left incomplete when Mondrian died in New York in 1944, since 1998 it has been in the collection of the Kunstmuseum in The Hague.[1] It has been said that "Mondrian's life and his affection for music are mirrored in the painting [and that it is] a testimony of the influence which New York had on Mondrian."[2]

Purchase for Kunstmuseum, The Hague.

It was purchased at a cost of 80 million Dutch guilders (approximately 35 million euros, US$40 million) from the American collector Samuel Irving Newhouse, who purchased the work from Emily and Burton Tremaine for US$12 million in the mid 1980s. It was bought in 1997 by the Stichting Nationaal Fonds Kunstbezit (National Art Foundation) through a gift from the Dutch Central Bank, commemorating the introduction of the euro. At the time the most expensive purchase ever for a Dutch museum. This amount of money spent on the gift raised questions in the Dutch House of Representatives, and also from other museums.[3][4]

In 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama was photographed with Victory Boogie Woogie, sometimes with Dutch politicians, an event which was widely reported by the Dutch and Flemish news media.[5]
