Basic information
How has the work of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) been passed down to us today?
This exhibition focuses on the family collection.
Van Gogh's younger brother Theo, who supported his career and kept most of his works, passed away six months after his brother's death, and Theo's wife Yo was left in charge of managing the vast collection.
Yeo dedicated his life to enhancing his brother-in-law's reputation, lending his works to exhibitions, selling them, and sorting through and publishing his voluminous letters.
His son, Vincent Willem, wanted to prevent the collection from being dispersed and created the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, working hard to establish a museum.
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam houses approximately 200 oil paintings and 500 drawings by the painter Vincent van Gogh, as well as letters, related works, and ukiyo-e prints.
Most of these were on permanent loan from the Vincent van Gogh Foundation when the museum opened in 1973.
This exhibition will display more than 30 of Van Gogh's works, mainly from the Van Gogh Museum, as well as four letters written by Van Gogh that will be on display in Japan for the first time, showcasing the collection that has been protected and passed down through his family.
