That was the case on last Friday when I got the chance to discover 2 new exhibitions on the same day.
The Fondation Van Gogh in Arles just opened its new exhibition combining the works of Van Gogh and his influences on the work of Alice Neel.
The Van Gogh part shows 8 paintings, mostly from the E.G. Bürhle Collection in Zurich, from his early stage to the last part of this life.
I was thrilled to see that 3 out of the 8 paintings were from the Saint Remy time...
Alice Neel (1900-1984) was a New Yorker artist who specialised in Portrait "sans concession". The exhibition shows 71 of her portrait and shows us the influence of Van Gogh on her work.
Allow a couple of hours to discover this magic place (former National Banque de France).

Philippe, so there are eight original Van Gogh paintings in this new show? There aren't a lot of them around Provence and it's always great to see them when they show up! Turns out the Van Gogh I bought this weekend at the brocante is probably not real...xx
ReplyDeleteIndeed 8 Van Gogh original paintings in this exhibition. With the permanent one in Avignon that'll make 9 this year in Provence. I'll call the Fondation in Amsterdam to check on yours.... :)
