MOMA hangs artwork UPSIDE DOWN, nobody notices for FORTY SEVEN DAYS
"October 18, 1961, might just be one of the most embarrassing days in the history of museums.
On that fateful morning, New York’s Museum of Modern Art opened the doors to a new exhibition, “The Last Works of Matisse: Large Cut Gouaches,” unaware that one of the works, Henri Matisse’s Le Bateau, was hanging upside down.
The error wasn’t discovered for 47 days, going unnoticed by curators and museum staff, as well as some 116,000 visitors; among them was Matisse’s son Pierre, who was an art dealer. The mistake was somewhat understandable, given the nature of the gouache work, a simple paper cut-out work of a sailboat and its reflection, expertly created by the artist with just a few simple shapes."

Socialist Realism is never hanged upside down.
Modern art was a major part of the cold war representing freedom verses social realism. Unfortunately, the art world is largely leftist.
