Would you know if this Masterpiece was upside down??

Written by   on   in ,  

Today's date (Dec 4) 1961, Henri Matisse’s artwork called Le Bateau was finally flipped around to be displayed right-side-up at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
It had been hung upside down for around 46 or 47 days! Stock-broker Genevieve Habert noticed it was  displayed upside down. Something like 116,000 people visited the museum to see the artwork before anyone noticed it was upside down. Even Matisse's son, Pierre Matisse, had seen the exhibit and didn't notice anything wrong.
According to TIME MAG, people didn't believe Mrs. Habert at first... but she "stuck to her guns" and eventually she called the New York Times. After that, the museum finally listened. They were like "Oh hey, would ya look at that, it IS upside down!"

Due to the expected heavy amounts of rain and high winds that are forecasted for tomorrow Saturday, November 23rd, the majority of the float entries have withdrawn from the parade. From participants to organizers, the primary concern is the safety of all participants, spectators, sponsors and volunteers, this decision was not made lightly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. There will not be an alternate date for the parade this year. Avis d’annulation du défilé Royale du père Noël du Grand Moncton C’est avec le cÅ“ur lourd que le comité organisateur du défilé Royale du père Noël du Grand Moncton a décidé d’annuler le défilé de cette année. En raison de la pluie abondante et des vents violents prévus pour demain, le samedi 23 novembre, la majorité des chars allégoriques se sont retirés du défilé. Pour les participants comme pour les organisateurs, la première préoccupation est la sécurité de tous les participants, les spectateurs, les commanditaires et les bénévoles. Cette décision n’a pas été prise à la légère. Nous regrettons tout inconvénient occasionné par cette situation. Le défilé ne se tiendra pas à une autre date pour cette année.'
