Henri Matisse's 'Le Bateau' (The Boat), a paper-cut made in 1953, was hung upside down in MoMA for forty-seven days in 1961, until Genevieve Habert, a stockbroker, not an art student as is commonly believed, noticed the mistake and notified a museum guard. Monroe Wheeler, the museum director, rectified the error.
