Adelson, 2014.9 and since that date, the collection has grown through purchases and gifts. Recently, the FIA has received several important gifts.

Chez Mondrian, Paris (1926) depicts the Paris studio of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. In a photograph taken shortly after Kertész arrived in Paris, he created the composition by opening the normally closed door of Mondrian’s studio to show the elegant curves of the hall’s staircase.
