“Storeys” is an abstract artwork created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1929 in Alten/Dessau-Alten, Germany. The piece, rendered in oil on cardboard, belongs to the Abstract Art movement and measures 56 by 41 centimeters. It is currently housed at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork features a vertical white line bisecting the composition, around which various geometric shapes and forms are thoughtfully organized. These shapes — encompassing circles, semi-circles, triangles, squares, and other polygons — are distributed within horizontal planes, resembling different levels or “storeys.” The colors primarily include shades of green, red, and brown, set against a textured blue-green background. The meticulous arrangement and vibrant palette evoke a sense of depth and dimensionality, characteristic of Kandinsky’s exploration of abstract form and color harmony.
