The original title "Private Collection" was changed by the artist to "Pink Room." Later variant title: Pink Room with Vermeer and Mondrian.
Modern Vermeer Interior and
Private Collection (George Deem's original title for the painting
Pink Room with Vermeer and Mondrian) are companion pictures, developed together, and in the current show at Allan Stone (Gallery) they were hung side by side. I did a study for each of these paintings. The studies were also hung side by side, and directly above the oil-on-canvas picture for which each was the study. So four pictures altogether, grouped on the wall 18th and 19th century style. The two studies under glass. (George Deem, letter to Udo Kultermann, November 26, 1977)
