It just works, this painting. 它就是奏效了，这幅画作。

We're very excited to have this superb Mondrian painting coming up in a sale. 我们非常兴奋能让这幅极美的蒙德里安画作出现在拍卖上。

It's from 1927, The Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue. 这是1927年画的，〈红、黄、蓝的构成〉。

And here you see Mondrian with his classic, purest, abstract style, using the simple black, greige, 这里你看到蒙德里安和他那经典、最纯粹的、抽象的特色，使用单纯的黑色、灰褐色，

We hardly ever see Mondrian at auction, and most of the major works are in the big international museums. 我们几乎从未在拍卖上看到马德里安，且大部分主要的画作都在大型国际美术馆中。

And here we have—coming from a private European collection—a kind of perfect, exquisite example. 这里我们有了－－从欧洲私人收藏来的－－一种完美、精巧的例子。

This canvas is still in its original frame executed by Mondrian. 这幅油画仍安置在马德里安最初制作的画框内。

And it's coming to auction now in an excellent, original condition. 而它现在以一种完美、最初的状态来到拍卖会。

And it presents a real opportunity for colossal collectors to acquire a Mondrian, 且它提供一个真正的机会给大批收藏家来得到马德里安的画，

and that is very much a key, iconic work from the best of 20th century art. 而那很大程度是二十世纪艺术精华中一幅重要、经典的作品。
