Van Gogh and Britian: Pioneer Collectors

Detail from A Wheatfield, With Cypresses, 1889, Oil on Canvas

7 July - 24 September 2006
Tickets £6 (£4) | Dean Gallery, Edinburgh

Neglected in his own lifetime, Van Gogh's paintings now fetch millions at auction. This exhibition - the largest Van Gogh show in Britain for forty years - looks at the early, pioneer collectors of his work and tells the story of how his pictures ended up on British soil.

Over 30 works, including major international loans, offer a representative selection from his tragically brief career, including: Portrait of Alexander Reid (1887); Oleanders (1888); Peach Blossom in the Crau (1889); A Wheatfield with Cypresses (1889) and Rain-Auvers (1890).

Experience Van Gogh’s expressive brushstrokes and vibrant colours in the serene setting of the Dean Gallery, set in beautiful parkland next to Edinburgh’s historic Dean Village. Not to be missed. Find out more about the show.
