Two Riders and Reclining Figure/Study for improvisation V (is, or are) the only known Kandinsky painting that was (or were) known to be painted on both sides. However, it was a common practice among hungry artists of early 1900s to paint on fiber board - on both sides, and then split them up and sell them as separate pieces. The above mentioned Two Riders and Reclining Figure/Study for improvisation V was one of these paintings that were painted on a fiber board, and subsequently presented as gift to two separate individuals. In mid '90s, a NY auction house (probably Christy's) got a hold of both pieces, and sold it for around $20 million US Dollars, including commission.
I'm sure there were other two-sided paintings by Kandinsky that switched hands privately, and I am convinced of this because the play 6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION came out long before the auction that took place in 2005. I will consult my genius friend Kalli to make sure that the facts are straight.
