The masterworks of one of the world’s most famous and influential artists will go on show at NGV next year in the forthcoming instalment the gallery’s acclaimed Melbourne Winter Masterpieces series.
Drawn from the collections of leading international institutions, including Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum, Van Gogh and the Seasons will bring more than 60 of van Gogh’s iconic works to Melbourne, many which are travelling to Australia for the first time in a stunning celebration of the natural beauty.
Alongside van Gogh masterpieces, the exhibition will also give insight into van Gogh’s own influences by displaying letters by the artist and artworks he collected during his short and ultimately tragic lifetime.
“Van Gogh is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable and famous names in art history,” said Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley. “His incredible work laid the foundation for modern art and influences artists to this day.”
Van Gogh and the Seasons runs at NGV International from April 28 to July 9, 2017.
